I joined Ping.fm back in April but never got around to using it.  Ping.fm is a simple service that makes updating all your social networks easy peasy.

What happened was that I changed my Twitter user profile name from @ebizmom to @AngelWickenberg and the Twiiter app that updated my Facebook profile, as well as the app that I could post to Twitter and Friendfeed from didn't work for me.

The problem was that I had also created a new profile called @ebizmom, just in case people didn't know how to find me, but also in case I didn't feel comfortable with my new user name, so I turned to Ping.fm to solve the problem.

With Ping, you can update from just about anywhere. Use AIM, GTalk, iGoogle, WAP, iPhone/iPod Touch, SMS or E-mail and let Ping.fm relay your message to a multitude of social networking sites.

Ping has a "trigger system" and have broken down the services into three groups; blogging, micro-blogging and status updates.

You can control how your messages are posted as well as where. If you don't include a trigger from below in your message, your message will be delivered as your default method.

Examples:

@s message - Posts a status update
@b title^body - Posts a blog
@m message - Posts a micro-blog

 

 

Beta is still in session. To update your Facebook profile, an application key must be received from Ping.fm.

Try it, you'll like it!
