definitely! @dshanske, would these orders of precedence work for you?

• article: summary, then name, then content
• note: summary, then content , then name

(right now, twitter uses summary, then content, then name, for both articles and notes. facebook always uses content.)

Well, a summary might not fit in a Tweet, but it would on Facebook, for example. Would that be...

• article: summary(if exists), then name(if exists), then content
• note: summary, then content , then name

Related to this is the ongoing photo discussion.

yeah, I meant those as fallbacks, not combinations. good point, I can also check if each one would fit on Twitter, and fallback if either it doesn't exist or it's too long. sound good?

Makes perfect sense to me. The biggest problem for me is the ... that many POSSE publishing services do in truncating content on Twitter.

yeah, ellipsizing is no fun. out of curiosity, though, if the only options available are longer than 140 chars, do you know what you'd want to do instead of ellipsizing?

Suggest the user fix it? Not sure.

Unfortunately I'd guess most users would want/expect Bridgy to do the truncation, rather than give an error.

With Twitter, there's the challenge of two distinct use cases

1. You are publishing a link to a longer article
2. You are publishing a single tweet

Case 2 is tricky. I'm guessing that (I use IndieWeb Press This to publish from WP)

WP Post title = name
WP post content = content
WP ??? = summary

When it was pushing content from the post content to the tweet, I was at a loss as to what to title the posts in WP. It's fine to tweet the post title as long as everyone is clear that's how it works. I need to read up on passing h-as-* to IndieWeb Press This.

thanks for the info @jasonkgreen! that name/content mapping is right. i haven't seen a summary object from a wordpress blog before, so you may be able to ignore that.

as i mentioned on twitter, you can make wordpress use h-as-note by using the Aside post type. if you add this line to the window.onload section of your press_this.js, it should use Aside automatically:

document.getElementById("post-format-aside").checked = true
