Ping.fm

Ping.fm = Last.fm
Coda.fm = RadioJavan.com

Best for updating multiple social statuses, including images, and links. I switched from HelloTxt to Ping.fm.

A great application for when you really need to spam a lot of social networks at once, but are just too lazy to do the job yourself.

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT

I have a gtalk bot for ping.fm and it syncs a gazillion loads of other social networks.

Phone + browser + desktop = the whole world of connectivity in your hands

Kudos.

Ping.fm is my web application du jour. I have two types of web asset I try to keep up to date; those for my personal life, and those for my professional life. Ping.fm helps me to make sure they all get updated appropriately.

Ping.fm is a simple idea. Hook up your various blogs, social websites, and micro-blogs to Ping.fm then enter one update to Ping.fm and it 'spreads the word', updating all of the associated accounts.

In my case I maintain several blogs, a couple of social networks, and a couple of micro-blogs. These are all hooked up to Ping.fm. I can now go to each blog, micro-blog or network site individually (if I think the update is specific to one group), or I can Ping.fm to one or more site.

Suppose I want to tell all my micro-blogs that I am 'currently writing a review on Wakoopa'. Easy, just go to Ping.fm and enter '@m currently writing a review on Wakoopa'. The @m tells Ping.fm to send this message to all my micro-blogs.

How about updating just Twitter? I could log in to Twitter, or I could use Ping.fm and enter '@tt writing a review on Wakoopa' - the @tt directs the update to Twitter only.

Blog posting is limited. There's no consistent way to do complex mark-up, but for straightforward text posts Ping.fm is very convenient. Any URL you enter is turned into a link, but there's no way to turn text into a link yourself. That said, I use Ping.fm to provide the bulk of the post, then visit blogs where I want to 'tweak' the post and tidy it up with a post edit. Anyway, posting blog messages is easy from Ping.fm, just enter '@b Title of Post^Body of Post'. The @b tells Ping.fm this is to go to you blogs. The '^' separates the title text form the main body.

Status updates are also simple, just use '@s My new status' and your status messages with be updated.

Ping.fm can be a bit slow at times, but I'm never in THAT much of a hurry to update. It is limited for blog posts, perhaps one day they will figure out a neat way of allowing more sophisticated messages, but for now it's only useful for straight text.

All-in-all Ping.fm is a really simple and convenient tool. Certainly better than logging in to four different websites to update my status :)

I love this! Even though I have a twitter client... I still use it!

Update all your social networks, microblogs, and blogs all at once.

I thing this is easy and the rate at which it adds new networking services is phenomenal!

A really good tool to update the status of your social tool, does not, however, updating the status of skype.

It helps me stay up to dated with my friends

Love this, helps me stay organized with ALL my social networking apps.

yeah

Ping.fm automates my social networking experience. +++
