Default Tools for linking social networks to save time
Hi Everyone,
I wouldlove to find a way to connect facebook, twitter, linkedIn, Biznik and other social networks together so I can update my profiles and so forth in one location for all sites. (In other words save me a day and half in updating for clients as well as myself)

I thought there were a few suggstions on the forum already, but I can't seem to find them, so if you know the links to them by all means...

Thank you everyone!

Hi Krisi - the only one I am aware of is PINGfm http://ping.fm/ - I haven't used it so I don't know how it works or how comprehensive it's reach is, but it might be worth looking into.

The sites it will update for you are:
  1. Bebo
  2. Blogger
  3. Facebook
  4. hi5
  5. Jaiku
  6. LinkedIn
  7. LiveJournal
  8. Mashable
  9. MySpace
  10. Plurk
  11. Pownce
  12. Tumblr
  13. Twitter
  14. Xanga
Here's a blog post about the service, might give you more info!
Have you found anything else that works the way you're hoping?

Hello there,

Has anyone tried www.digsby.com?
I will probably try this one first

But ping.fm and friendfeed looks good too
Maybe I need to try all the three

Thumbsup Re: Tools for linking social networks to save time
I just tried digsby (you need to download this one) and it works great for me. I get notifications from my business and personal emails, twitter DMs and everything I need. Also I can use gmail chat from both gmail addresses at the same time! (no sign out, sign in).

Also I want to to friendfeed as the second one

Wishes,
Jade

Wow, this is just what I needed, but didn't know it. Thanks everyone for these great resources. Social networking is wonderful but it can be exhausting too. I just starting twittering yesterday. But nothing else has gotten done at all.

I use a combo of ping.fm and FriendFeed. I am still working out some kinks to avoid double posting. My favorite is ping.fm. I can update my LinkedIn, Twitter and FB status all at once. Very efficient!
