I discovered Identi.ca has a few snarls involved in OpenID access --
not the least of which is you can't *re-use* an OpenID you're using on
one Identi.ca account for another.
So I set up a special Ping.fm account that is hooked to the @fedora
Identi.ca account. I also entered it into HootSuite, and sent out
invitations to the whole FAS social networking team giving access to
this account. So here's how it works now:
For new status updates -- updates that are *not* replies:
1. Login to HootSuite.
2. Select *ONLY* the Ping.fm "Fedora" account.
The status echoes to Identi.ca @fedora, which echoes to Twitter
@fedora.
For replies:
1. Login to HootSuite.
2. Select *ONLY* the account you're replying on, probably Twitter
@fedora.
The status only goes to the Twitter account where the mention
happened.
Although this does put another web service between us and Identi.ca,
it doesn't *restrict* us from sending messages in another way. As
we've said repeatedly before, we'll continue to look for 100% FOSS
management apps to which we can migrate in the future.
Hey all,
Also note that you can see @fedora's personal timeline here[1] and replies
here[2] thanks to the open nature of Identica. So we can fully use Identica,
just in a slightly convoluted way :-)
