Mac twitter+facebook client (replacement for Tweetdeck)
May 14, 2013 11:33 AM   Subscribe

Twitter is breaking shit because they hate their users/want to monetize. I used to use Tweetdeck to send out coordinated facebook and twitter posts for work; I'd like to avoid using two different programs (doubling my work). HootSuite seems close, but for semi-irrelevant reasons, not currently an option. I run a Mac. What are the best options out there?

Can't you run the twitter app on Facebook and post all your tweets to FB? or even better, SelectiveTweets, to only pick up ones with the #fb tag?

Then you can run any twitter client you like, such as Tweetbot or Twitteriffic (or the sad remains of Tweetie, now owned and crippled by Twitter).

If a Web app is an option, you might check out Buffer.app.

Our flow actually mostly goes the other way, with FB being primary for most substantive/image posts, and twitter being primarily for liveblogging+some events stuff. So posting all of our twitter on facebook is less helpful that posting all of our facebook on twitter.

I work in online community management and as yet I have not found a better twitter client for the mac than tweetbot. Unfortunately nothing works as well as facebook in a browser for posting to facebook.

Just coming back to this. There are also apps that go the other way.

Here's just the first hit from my google search "post Facebook to twitter"

Response by poster: Mad, are there any that you particularly value there? (Because, honestly, my org uses FB more than twitter, so that could make sense too, especially since FB added hashtags yesterday.)
