Whoagh, an actual blog post! Steady on Phil
Yes, yes, I know I have been a right lazy so and so recently and have not made a real blog post for ages. If I can offer some kind of excuse, I have been playing around with loads of little web2 gizmos that try to tie up all your web apps into one. If I’m making no sense, what I’m trying to say is I use several websites, but have been looking into a way of getting all the stuff I publish online synchronised into one place.
So I only have to publish once.
Here’s where I’m at.
- Posts on the Blog are published on Facebook and Twitter
- All Twitter posts are published to the blog sidebar and Facebook status
- All Delicious bookmarks are published on Twitter, Facebook and the blog
- All Flickr posts are published to Facebook and blog
- All YouTube videos published on Facebook
The best thing I have found to help with this is FriendFeed. Thanks to a Tip from Steve Beard.
Twitterfeed is also extremely useful. It allows you to post the URL of any RSS feeds you have on Twitter at varied intervals. You can set the frequency and everything.
This then allows you to build your readership without really lifting a finger.
Of course, there has to be some content in your feed to begin with, but there are hundreds of posts on this blog, so there is always something new being sent to Twitter.
