Just want to clarify - this is my first post in Habré, and therefore please do not shower me with hats.Why do I need Crossposting and services such as Ping.fm? and why are they so good ...?
To begin, perhaps, with the fact that this topic was mentioned
here (briefly) and
here (podcast), but since the publication of services has grown and gained its momentum. Why do
I need
Ping.fm ?
There are a sufficient number of services that provide cross-posting in their capabilities, even the google buzz can tell Twitter and Facebook what you write. But while “buzz” is young, I wrote about Ping.fm.
And so what is this service?

You register and enter the system. Further we see 3 main zones.

In which there are:
Where you already write, the field to enter and services that you can use to send to your social. Network
The whole service is built on an intuitive understanding, and does not require any skills - everything is simple and accessible.
And so, what does the service support?
(the number is constantly increasing)?

Personally, I never write on PING itself - I initially used Hootsuit, but then, when more advanced functionality appeared, I also refused it. But he keeps my posts (30 days), and the places where they were added and how I brought them there

Add social. Network. Of course, first you need to register on them (or go to the link from PING so that he redirects you to registration), then you add contacts or activate the protocol and that's it — the system is ready for CASE
Where to write from?
As I said, for those who use Hootsuit, you can’t think of a better place (multi-acoustics, various additional columns). Then you simply connect your PING account to the "OWL" and write to your health (I use the "owl" only for customers).
In my personal space, I use Skype or iGoogle. Both methods simply ask you for confirmation (but everything is very clear), and voila - everything is ready!
Of course, SEO, SMO and SMM experts can add to my small list, but I personally use crossposting for 4 main reasons:1. TimeWe never have enough time to write everything we want and where we want, I don’t even go to the tweeter - because I eat too much precious ...
2. BrandingIn this way, I mean personal branding, and promotion of myself as a specialist in the market. Every freelancer knows how important his CIRCLE of contacts is, but how to expand this circle? It is a social activity.
3. SEOI am not an expert (with a capital letter) in this direction, but the technologies for me are clear and I successfully apply them. Building up a social link mass is now an important factor for ranking search engines. Of course, it is not the key one, but the reference mass from social services can favorably affect both the increase in traffic and the increase in the position of the site.
4. SMOHere, the time factor plays for me. If I can publish from 1 service to all Social pages or groups promoted by me, then of course I will use it.
