A simple and easy way to manage all your social networking needs

There are so many social networking sites out there now, it is almost impossible to keep up with all of them. It is very hard to post updates to every social networking site when you have more then one. I could never keep up with posting updates to both Twitter and Pownce I thought it would be almost impossible to post everything at once. I was proven wrong when I found a great Adobe Air application called Twhirl that would allow me to post to both Pownce and Twitter. That made things a little bit easier on me, Since it handled double posting and reaching everyone not just on Twitter but on Pownce as well. I liked that I was able to post to both of those social network sites with one client. But I soon starting up for even more social networks such as FriendFeed, Plurk, Identi.ca and many more. I had no idea on how I would be able to all these social network at one time. At first I thought I would use the website, But then I realized that that is taking up more tabs in Firefox. I had no way of knowing how to post to all of these sites at one time. Until I found out Ping.fm

As of right now Ping.fm is in beta, But Ping.fm is still a great social network site that allows you to post to multiple sites at one time. As of right now Ping.fm is currently in the early stages of beta. I do see ping.fm as having great potential. What is nice about ping.fm is the ability to add custom triggers. So if you wanted to let say update just your twitter you could make a trigger as #tw and then update just one social networking site. But if you all like me, odds are you will make an #all trigger and have it send your updates to Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Pownce, and FriendFeed. That is one thing I really like about ping.fm Ping.fm makes it very easy for you. The folks over at ping.fm toke a lot of time to make it a great social network. You can embed ping.fm on your iGoogle page you can update from the site or even Instant message. They got it all covered.

However, I do see one problem with it, and that is that it has so many sites and everyone thinks they have to sign up to all the sites on the page just to get the word out and not be a part of the community at all. I have been on twitter for at least a few years now. I have gotten involved with the community and it has really helped. I have a lot more followers and people who are interested in what I have to say. Ping.fm has helped me post my blogs and other interesting website to other social networks instead of just twitter. I hope that Ping.fm will grow over time and add more and more social networking sites. If you would like to try out the beta and need a code try pingyoulater. That should work and you can hopefully try it out for yourself.
