HelloTxt, Ping.Fm and PixelPipe

by Steve Patterson on Friday, October 01, 2010 3:12 PM

My final solution for the time being involved a spreadsheet with all four services and all the social networks that I have accounts with. Then I selected a bookmarking service that I wanted to use for each of the networks from the four. HelloTxt is my favorite so they are bookmarking to most of the services. Ping.fm, PixelPipe, and Onlywire each contained some unique networks, and therefore they now bookmark, blog, and do status updates to the networks that they service uniquely.

The last step that I have not solved to this point is automatically sending blog posts to the services. Onlywire has a Wordpress plugin as do HelloTxt and Ping.Fm. I have used the Onlywire for some time and have considered installing both the HelloTxt plugin and the Ping.fm plugin, but thought there might be some method that posted to them all.

Email submission was the solution that I tried using Subscribe2. Every time a new post was published, Subscribe2 sent an email to three users that corresponded to the email submission addresses of the services. Only problem was that all three services did not post the emails that came from the websites. I will update this article in the future when I determine the best and cleanest solution.

Ping.fm is a free social networking and micro-blogging web service that enables a user to post his content to multiple social networks simultaneously. This ping.fm service will work wonders for the fresh content that appears on your website or blog daily. Using Ping.fm, you can update on different sites at once.Pixelpipe has 3 main categories to post : Photo & Video Sites,Social Networks,Blogs So you can either post your content to all sites added or you can publish to relevant sections only!!both are so nice site

I tried the plugin recommended by HelloTxt tonight and it did not post to the service. I also tried one of the better looking Ping.Fm plugins called WPing.fm and it failed. The search continues.

HelloTXT is designed to update your myriad of social networks from within one application. It is a great concept, but a bit buggy in its current form. HelloTXT is a universal app that works across iOS devices.

Sometime use of HelloTxt to update my facebook status and include a photo, I get a link in the update instead of the actual photo. Is there a way to get the photo in the update and not the link only?
