Posted by Charles Heflin as Social Networking
I am testing a Worpress plugin that sends the title of my blog posts and a link to the blog post to my Ping.fm account. If this works successfully then I have completely automated the aggregation/syndication of my blog posts to my social channels.
I will let you know how it pans out.
<< UPDATE>>
The test worked great. This successfully automates me updating 13 of my networks whenever I make a new blog post here. If you run a hosted Wordpress blog and you are not aggregating your content across multiple networks AND building community in those networks then you are limiting your reach.

1Awesome - I was waiting for this to come out!
By the way - http://www.ping.fm didn’t work when I first tried it - they might be having trouble with their redirects - might be an idea to change the URL to http://ping.fm...
What are the 13 networks you use Charles?
Thanks,
Peter.

2Hi Charles,
Wordpress already submits my blog posts to various places as part of the ping set up. I also submit my posts to ‘onlywire’
Won’t I be duplicating the posts if I us ping.fm?

3No Ping.fm aggregates content to social platforms like twitter, plurk and facebook just to name a few. I have friends/followers in those communities so it is convenient to be able to update my social platforms with new blog posts so that my friends/followers can see it.
