Twitterfeed

One exception to the First rule of the Interweb, that makes sense to me, is getting your Blog posts onto Twitter as links. This will simply promote you Blog with the shorter snippets available through 140 characters. This brings in Twitterfeed, a fairly simple service that will automatically shorten and post you Blogging to Twitter.

After going to the site it took me a few minutes to set everything up, and using the Open ID method of signing in was a little confusing but shortly everything seem to be configured right. There is no way to make Twitterfeed push your Blog out immediately, you just have to set it up to check every hour and wait,

Lets see if it works?

Update - I think it took longer than an hour but when I checked again this morning there was the first post on Twitter from my Blog - Success

First Rule of the "Interweb"

There are many ways to interconnect all your social networks, for example you can have your Blog and Twitter update your Facebook.

Well Don't!

Even though these may seem like time saving devices they can damage your presence. So it may seem great to put photos on Twitpic then let Twitter update your facebook - however there will only be a link to the photograph, not the Graphic image which is much more engaging.

Use Twitter for short bursts of info, comment and links, use Facebook for providing the rich content that will help reinforce your supporters commitment and use a Blog to offer a little more information and knowledge that will engage new people.

And good luck with whatever comes next.

Nokia 5800

Having had my Nokia 5800 for a couple of months I have to say up until a recent software update I was very disappointed. Choosing the 5800 to replace my N95 was always going to be a strange mishmash of upgrade / downgrade. But after the update everything things to be coming together. I am starting to get the hang of using Ovishare and as the previous posting mentions pixelpipe seem a great way of getting pics and video onto Facebook. I find the 5800 is turning to be really useful in catching a relaying information to the Web. My only concern is how long I will be able to hold out until I succumb to the lure of the newer N97

Some people are already figuring out that Facebook is a great way to build a campaign (a certain B. Obama did it pretty well). The One Foundation have done a great bit of customization on their Facebook page. When people go there the first thing they see is an email sign up, getting right to the point.

I am always striving to find a way of recording information and getting it out immediately. That way if you have events with volunteers and community members they can take part in an activity then by the time they go home get to see the event online. This way they are more likely to send the link to all their friends, driving them all to where you need them the most.

With Pixelpipe I am able to take a photo with my Nokia 5800 and have it sent immediately to where I want it to go; Facebook, Twitpic or even Facebook.
