Ping.fm – The holy grail of social media marketing

Ping.Fm is an online service with a sole purpose of making it easy to share your posts with the world. You can use it to update all the social media sites at once. It supports a whooping 28 social media services. You need the beta code to register (free) which I’ll share at the end of this post. So instead of publishing a post and then notifying social media about the new content on one at a time basis, head on to Ping.fm. But Wordpress bloggers have more good news. There’s a Wordpress plugin that saves you going to the Ping.fm site and login every time you post. Grab this incredible plugin named PingPress.fm from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pingpressfm/

Here’s the humungous list of social services that it supports.

1. Twitter
2. Facebook

If you thought that was the and of it, think again. Here’s a list of other services that it supports.
