Type Once, Update Many Part 2

Last month I told you about the social media updater service HelloTxt .  This month, let's take a look at Ping.fm

The basic premise and results are similar:  Sign up for several social media sites that include status update functions and consolidate them all in one place.  Type in a status update once and automatically update all of your social media outlets immediately.  This is a great tool to spread the message of your advocacy effort far and wide to as many social networks as possible.

Click here for a full list of partner social media sites.  They include the basics like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Delicious, Friendster and Flickr and dozens more.

Ping.fm has experienced an outage recently, but has been able to restore most of its data.  As with many social media sites, the technology is still evolving and there will be hiccups.  However, this service is very popular and will continue to grow.

Type once, update many!

  1. Also, Posterous.com is a great service where you can send stuff to share to it once and it'll update all your stuff you tell it to, or just select stuff. Basically it's a catchall for everything you check out online and then some. Mine's at http://thatdamnredhead.posterous.com
