ping.fm - What is it?
This will probably be the shortest blog I will ever write. I have been called a "prolific writer", although I didn't ask if that was meant as a compliment of a suggestion to quit writing so much!
This hot little tip called ping.fm came from a fellow internet marketer by the name of Debra Morrison. It just kind of slipped in during a conversation we were having about everything else in life. Those are usually the very best tips, so I immediately went to ping.fm.
That's all you need to type in your browser! ping.fm. It doesn't cost anything, I don't earn anything by referring you (and you won't either), just a happy, happy little time-saving tip for you!
Once there, it is easy to see what a truly hot little tip this is for saving an incredible amount of time. From this one site, you can send out your announcements to every social networking site you can think of (and more than a few I've never even heard of). Once you are set up with as many or as few of the sites they ping to, it is as easy as typing in your message on the ping.fm site, hitting the ping (send) button and you are done!
Give it a try and see how it works for you. It took me a bit to get some of the sign-ups to some sites I chose to add to my list, but it is so worth it in the end. If you already have accounts with Twitter, Facebook, Ning, etc., it's just a matter of a couple of clicks to set up your pings to them.
Enjoy!
