Testing ping.fm, quite a tool for marketers!

I actually remembered that ping.fm would do what I wanted to do and even better than the couple of things I tested before. It will broadcast everything everywhere. In a way, a bit scary!

There are 45 systems as of today (Jul 11, 2009) where your posts will automatically be posted.

And if you want to know, you will need a user key for everything to work. When logged in your ping.fm account, go to http://ping.fm/key

You key is a long string of letters and digits (for those in the known, it is called an md5sum)

And the best is certainly to only use the Status Updates which is your post title & URL instead of trying to send the whole post... Well... it looks like it does not work with the whole post.

There seems to be a problem with this post... Trying once more now that it looks like ping.fm seems awake!
