[...] My friend Abi actually has already blogged about HookPress and how it can be used to tweet on post publication. ↩ [...]

Thanks, Mitcho, I've updated the script to use post_url. Would be awesome to see the script in a screencast. :)

Abi, FYI, post_url support (and preliminary filter support) is out. :)

PS: I'm planning on using this python script of yours in a screencast. Hope you don't mind. :)

@Robin But it's not the same! twitterfeed constantly polls RSS feeds and posts it to Twitter/identi.ca. On the other hand, HookPress/Webhooks are instant and they save on bandwidth for everyone. We should all move to the Pushbutton Web because that's the right (and more efficient) way to do things. :)

I'm sure it shouldn't be too tough to modify my Python script to work with identi.ca thanks to similar APIs and all.

Or you could just use this: http://twitterfeed.com/ which takes an RSS feed and posts it. Also supports identi.ca which is nice.

Dammit Abi, you beat me to blogging about HookPress! :D

Yes, I will indeed look to add support for the post_url variable in HookPress. Glad you've been able to make some use of it already!
