What is Ping.FM Ping.fm says, “simple service that makes updating your social networks a snap.”

We have recently started to use ping.fm in order to help broadcast our microblogs across various networks. They allow you to type in messages just as you would in Twitter with more characters and then it will go out and update your various social media websites like the ones that are listed below. We have even added a ping.fm widget that will update as we become more vocal through ping. For bloggers this is a great tool if you are looking for ways to drive traffic to your site through various high traffic sites and also help in your branding of your website.

Here are a few of the ping.fm sites that it will ping.

The rising social media power of ping.fm to help your branding and messaging efforts is amazing. You will find other sites out there that offer similar services like socialthing.com (currently in beta testing) and hellotxt.com but be careful in only choosing one as you could get in trouble for spamming some of your accounts. In our opinion Ping.FM appears to have the market lead and offer the most available social media sites on the web.
