DISQUS

Tumblr Staff: Tweet from Tumblr We’re testing Twitter... | Tumblr Staff

  • spartikus · 10 months ago
    I have 2 tumblr blogs, but only posts from one are showing up on twitter (I'd like it to be the second one). Is there a way of choosing?
  • Kenshi · 10 months ago
    Like spartikus ("I'M SPARTIKUS!" etc), I can only get the twitter updates from my first tumblr blog. And I'd like to use my second tumblr blog as my primary one.

    Please can you guys let us switch which is our primary tumblr blog? It would be totally awesome if we could do this!
  • AlexSchleber · 10 months ago
    Ditto on the "fail to post tweet for secondary Tumble-blog".

    Also: Please change the text of the tweet. "Tweet From Tumblr..." is overly long, and this is already implied in the status message info ("xminutes ago from Tumblr". People don't care where it came from much, Tweetdeck doesn't start by saying "Tweet from Tweetdeck".

    If you must put some sort of marker for testing purposes for now to grab the stream of Tumblr-sent updates from Search.twitter.com, then use something super short like "#tmblr".

    Otherwise, good job on moving ahead with this much needed feature upgrade.

    Yeah, ditto here. I posted at the end of the thread before I saw these posts here. I'd love to post to a secondary tumblr blog, as well. Maybe be able to define a twitter account per tumblr blog?

    You might want to take a better look at support for foreign (special) characters when sending text to Twitter:

    love this new feature... but I'm wondering... how many is a "few people"?
    less than a 100?
  • hannes · 10 months ago
    Very cool. I like that you build @ replies as threads - very helpful to see conversations like that. I also like that you extract short URLs like bit.ly, etc... Also, kudos on showing thumbnails for TwitPics.

    Good job! :)
  • livejamie · 10 months ago
    Yes, now make the dashboard better, make it bigger, make it easier for me to know what's read and unread and this will be perfect!
  • Sahil Desai · 10 months ago
    I am mucho impressed... This possibly one of the best twitter implementations I've played with, may start using it instead of twitter.com, although it seems a little sluggish, so until it speeds up i'll just be using it intermittently...

    Thanks and stay professional, like Xtian Bale

    Are you working on embedding YouTube videos into the dashboard? That is, if someone posts a link to a YouTube (or Vimeo, CollegeHumor, etc.) video on Twitter it'll be embedded on the dashboard.
  • john ratcliffe-lee · 10 months ago
    Very, very impressive. Don't always have the need to send posts to Twitter but the Dashboard integration and conversation grouping is top-notch.
  • MordecaiX7 · 10 months ago
    Thanks! Best part is having my blog posts dropped into Twitter. Very nice.

    I absolutely loveeeed this.
    Thanks so much guys.
    You guys don't stop being awesome :)

    Suggestion though: After you post something, you should have an option (in the edit post section) where you can tweet about that post.
    Already using this these few days I've already had this happen a few times.
  • rmonterosainz · 10 months ago
    ¡Genial!
  • AlexSchleber · 10 months ago
    By the way, as this post proves, sometime in the not too distant future, you may want to think about an option to collapse "Likes" (a la FriendFeed "x, y, and z and XX other people likes this), and maybe Reblogs except those that added a comment of some sort. Otherwise, there is tons of scrolling through stuff that doesn't contain much information.

    Add a toggle for those that want to re-expand to see the full lists.

    A question - if I have a feed from my twitter into my tumblog will activating this set up an endless feedback loop of tweeting and tumbling?
  • Tumblr Staff · 10 months ago
    No, it will not.
  • Brian Christiansen · 10 months ago
    I really appreciate the new feature. However I would *really* appreciate the ability to edit what gets sent to my Twitter account. Ideally, when I click to say "yes, x-post this to Twitter" (I don't have it on by default) it would show me the tweet as you intended to send it, but it would be editable so I could tweak it before it got published (or do nothing and push it as you created it—though I doubt *I* would use this, others probably would).

    Also, a solution for using the Share on Tumblr bookmarklet would be in order, so one can control from that interface whether something gets pushed to Twitter.

    Thanks for you hard work on the new features. Other than making it easier (like check box and credentials) to add Disqus to a tumblog, I can't think of much else I'd like to see added. Great work, guys.

    (PS-i'll volunteer to beta test the twitter integration if you're in need.)
  • Andre Siregar · 8 months ago
    I'll second Brian's suggestion here. My problem is that, when I create a Tumblr entry, Tumblr picks the first 100 characters (or so) to be published as a tweet. However, this 100 or so characters may not make sense to my Twitter followers.

    I suppose I can structure my Tumblr log and discipline myself to always have a short description first. But it would help if the Tumblr dashboard has some kid of character counter so I know what will be published as a tweet.

    Thanks!
  • David · 10 months ago
    AWESOME!

    My only concern: I don't want to have to go to "Advanced" in my bookmarklet every time I post something. If you can fit it on the initial page that would be much better!
  • Liron · 10 months ago
    How do I turn off the URL that gets posted to my twitter along with my tumblr post when posting text entries? This is the only thing preventing me from using this feature.
  • attaboy · 9 months ago
    I'm liking this, but when I post a capital-L Link to Tumblr, I really wish the tweet would include this link instead of, or in addition to, a link to the post. Seems annoying to have people click on my tweet and then have to click on my post to see the link.
  • tadadala · 9 months ago
    Is there a way to use this feature with my queue items? It seems to work only with 'publish now' posts.
  • jackiedoodlebug · 9 months ago
    Am I the only one who can't figure out how to turn it off?
  • Solitude · 9 months ago
    I was wondering if there were some way of making a tweet on twitter act as a "tweet" post type on tumblogs?
  • Fredrik Arvidsson · 9 months ago
    Great stuff!
  • hatt · 8 months ago
    cool except i wish there was a way for twitter to notify tumblr automatically when you make a tweet instead of updating every coupld of hours. but i guess that's a problem on twitter's end.
  • tristanjay7 · 8 months ago
    Is there any way (yet) to use the shorturl as a theme variable or to get the shorturl in a faster manner than viewing the source on a post's page?
  • loranger · 7 months ago
    Great feature, but would it be possible to enable it for a (multi-users) secondary blog instead of a specific account ?

    Like Kenshi and spartikus, I've got a secondary blog and I would prefer tumblr to tweet my primary blog posts on my twitter account, but I would also like my secondary blog posts to be tweet using an other account. The perfection would be reached if my friends posts were also tweet using this other account.

    Are there any plan concerning this ?

    Thanks

    I can't set up my twitter account preference after the twitter password change....
  • roblef · 3 months ago
    The problem here is that I have 3 tumblr sites, and only one pref to set. How do I get specific tumblr site to post to specific twitter account? It's only posting when I post from my main tumblr account, not the other one. :(
  • Gonzalo Fernández · 1 month ago
    It would be great if the "text" posts under 140 characters automatically were sent to Twitter as text without any link, and with a "+" or "..." link for larger "text" posts.
  • Cinnasmum · 4 weeks ago
    Cool, but I'd like it the other way. :P I want my tweets to be sent to my tumblr! Are there any plans for that??
