@seanl Cross-posting is a nice idea, but there are some weird rough edges with UX when it comes to formatting content.
If it originates from a site with a limited character count, it's somewhat noticeable - your statuses will seem unusually short. If you're sending from a long-form site to a short-form one, the problem is even worse, resulting in truncation and links.
There isn't exactly a good way for content to gracefully degrade between services based on built-in limitations.

@seanl Something I wanted to experiment with involved a blogging/publication app that plugs into different networks, and formats content based on network type.
In other words, Tweets are formatted to emphasize a blurb and a picture, whereas longer-form networks like Facebook might include a longer excerpt.
