Social networking made easy

I love social networking sites. They allow me to reach out to others that normally I would have not been able to.
And because the sites are free, every startup should take advantage of them.
And I’
m not the only one who feels that way. The b5 Business Channel recently got together and wrote a whole lot on the subject.
But here’s the big problem… time. You can easily spend tons of time on these sites, with little to show for it.
That’s why I use a nifty tool called ping.fm. It allows me to post once on their site – and it’s automatically delivered to all my other social networking sites. I get a ton done, in just a couple of minutes a day. (And boy, people have really noticed how active I am on these sites as a result!)
Here’s the only caveat: ping.fm is in beta mode and you need a special code to use it. Here’s the good part. I have the code. Leave me a comment, and I will share it with you!
Thank you in advance the the top secret code that you are sending me!

I can’t wait to share my notes from your webinar with our copywriter. Please share your free ping.fm code with me as I handle ALL our social media and this would really help me out!
Thanks Shannon! I would love to use this tool, it would make things so much easier!

While what you propose may work at one level, at another I believe it may not be such a good idea. I run http://www.Irishbusinesswomen.com and it is obvious that some people are doing as you say. The problem is that they are not really a part of any of the real communication that is going on in the community. It may be efficient, but I would argue that it is not necessarily effective communication.
BTW despite what the name implies http://www.Irishbusinesswomen.com is not confined exclusively to either women, or Irish people. It has the welcome mat out to everyone! For free!!
Shannon, Thanks for sending the code for ping.fn. Can’t wait to see it work!
I’ve been looking for something like this for months I hope it works as good as you see.
