How to use Ping.fm
There are so many social networking sites around today and even more appearing on a weekly basis.If you are like me, it is likely that you are a member of more than one social network likeFacebook ,Twitter ,MySpace,LinkedIn, etc. If you are one of the hardcore you could be a member of many, many more.How many hours would you have spent filling in your profiles, joining groups and updating your statuses within these social circles? It starts to add up.Wouldn’t it be good to be able to update all your social statuses from one place? Well you can withPing.fm.Ping.fm allows you to send updates to all, or just a handful of your favourite sites. Updates can bemade from your browser, email or sms. If you have an iPhone and are using the Twitter applicationTweetie, checkout myguideon how to integrate Ping.fm with Tweetie. This guide will show you how to save time and be more efficient when it comes to updating your social statuses.Firstly, you will need to make sure you have added all your social networks. For this guide, I haveonly added Twitter, Facebook and MySpace.There are three different methods of posting – 
 status updates, micro-blogs and blogging 
.. which Ifound a little confusing when it came to configuring my social networks. Do I set them as statusonly, or micro-blogging only, or both, or what? And what about updating via email?So I decided to test these out to see how they worked for real. Here is what I have found whentesting out the various posting methods of Ping.fm.
