For my monthly post over on Practical eCommerce, I wrote about Ping.fm, which allows you to post to multiple social networks at once – from various different posting methods (email, sms, web). The beauty of Ping.fm is it allows you to easily implement a social media strategy without having to devote hours and hours each day.
Let’s say you’re at an industry conference which is covering some great information that your customers might be interested in. Using Ping.fm, you can send short updates to Twitter and Facebook about what’s going on (live blogging). You can also send photos to Flickr and Facebook of new products and speakers. When you have time to write a longer, more in-depth post, you can use Ping.fm to email it to your blog at WordPress. All of this can be done without having to be at a computer and without having to post individually to every network. – Ping.fm Makes Social Media Strategy Easy – Sarah Worsham – Practical eCommerce

And, if you’re already using Ping.fm, I always enjoy hearing about your experiences…
