Sounds like a symbolic link?
I wonder if this is a common case? And I also wonder if the PuSH model would
be better here — where you might set up a series of listeners that just
repost your content (as copies of the original)?

I'm curious if you goal is to be able to publish/create content within both
contexts or — to use the language of yore — if you'd rather setup up
master/slave relationship?

Finally, is this a common problem or just something that you'd like to have?
Where might this situation show up in the wild? And when it does, would
people want to copy ALL their posts, or just some? (Which I think could be a
more interesting use case...)
