CHAPTER 20: Social Media and Skype
If you're primarily a blogger, but
want to add tweets to announce
new blog entries, one way to do so
is through Twitterfeed at
http://twitterfeed.com. This is a
free service that takes just about
any blog feed and translates it into
a shortened Twitter or Facebook
post. You specify any prefix or
suffix and how you want the post to
be shortened, as shown to the right.
RSS Graffiti (www.facebook.com/RSS.Graffiti) is a service for porting blog posts into
Facebook fan pages. There are many other cross-posting solutions as well, including
free and paid apps.
If you want to go beyond simply scooping a feed
from one place and putting it into another, you can
use a more powerful cross-posting service. Ping.fm,
as mentioned earlier, is a free service that can cross-
post to Facebook fan pages.
Ping.fm can also cross-post to an impressive variety
of social networks, blogs, and microblogs. From
within Ping.fm, you can also make groups of media to
post to; for instance, you could have a "press
release" group that goes to your business Twitter
account, Facebook fan page, WordPress blog, and
Delicious bookmark. Any post you make to that
group is automatically cross-posted.
NOTE: Ping.fm is the web service, not the DROID app
that enables cross-posting. The DROID app for using
the Ping.fm service is called AnyPost.
AnyPost, which is shown to the right, is a fantastic
free Android client for Ping.fm. You can use it to post
to services one at a time or as a group.
A similar service for Android is Moby. However, this service is more blog-oriented and
does not let you post to as many services.
