Ping – Social Networking Just Got Easier

Etsy seller Deirdre, from Etsy shop Blackbird72 and shop blog,  told HandmadeMarketing.org about a website that makes updating social network sites a piece of cake.

“I just discovered Ping.fm you can add your updates to all your social networks at once.  And it’s free!” she told HandmadeMarketing.org.

The Ping.fm website tells more about the new service.  “Ping.fm is a simple and free service that makes updating your social networks a snap!” it reads.  “We post your messages wherever you want!”

The site says it supports over 40 social networking sites and says they are adding more.  “Between our straight forward posting methods and advanced custom triggers, we make it easy for you to post your messages exactly where you want them to go,” the site reads.

So what does the Etsy community think about this site?  “I was jumping for joy when I found this site!” writes one Etsy seller in the Etsy.com forums.  “[Ping.fm] updates over 50 sites with your information without logging into each site seperately! You can even update your statuses with a text or an instant message – no need to log into a computer!”

“So you can post updates thru Ping and they are automatically visible on all the other sites? Sweet! Thanks!” writes another Etsy seller in the same thread.
