Accutane For Sale, One of the biggest problems with social media communication is the drudgery of sharing links, making comments and updating groups.

Several sites aim to make this process easier… namely, Posterous, About Accutane, Soup.io, FriendFeed and ShareIn. I’ve tried all of them, and I’d say they’re “almost ready for primetime.” Each has value, fast shipping Accutane, and each has significant drawbacks.

This is a quick review that’s interested in answering the question: “How can these tools make my social media life easier to manage?” I’m not so much interested in questions like, Accutane class, “What’s the most powerful, flexible blogging platform?” That’s another issue together (and the answer is WordPress, btw).

I’ll start with ShareIn, Accutane alternatives, since it’s the simplest tool of the three. Here’s how I use it: I opened an account, dragged their bookmarklet to my Firefox bookmark toolbar, adjusted my settings in ShareIn to update my Facebook and Twitter accounts, and then started selectively posting links, videos and photos to my pages via the bookmarklet, Accutane For Sale. It’s useful, Accutane no rx, because if I’m reading an article and want to share it with friends without emailing it (a less invasive or interrupting method of sharing), I can do this quickly with a couple of clicks.

ShareIn places the appropriate links and images in my Twitter and Facebook feeds. I can do both at once or just do only Twitter or only Facebook, Accutane blogs. I notice that there’s a delay for image loading within my Facebook page. Accutane For Sale, During this time a ShareIn logo sits in the position where the media image or photo should go. That’s slightly annoying. Accutane duration, When users click on the links, they’re sent to the article or media. Pretty direct and simple. There’s a ShareIn banner at the top of the web page that can be clicked closed, buy Accutane without a prescription. I’m calling it a banner, but it’s really just a strip at the top which allows users to continue to share the link on their social networks, Accutane For Sale. It’s viral that way. When you close it, Accutane over the counter, you’re presented with the original URL and page. Either way – open or closed – you have a nice big view of the article or media. Here’s an example of how a ShareIn link looks. Accutane For Sale, This does make sharing info easier on Twitter and Facebook. It works as advertised and has some nice back-end reporting features that show you the popularity of your posts and so forth, Accutane overnight.

I tried ShareIn because I was frustrated with Posterous’s quirky linking practices. But Posterous has some nifty features and advantages. No prescription Accutane online, It’s much more than ShareIn, even though it does some of the same kinds of things.

What do I mean by quirky Posterous linking, Accutane For Sale. Here’s the deal. When you link to online media and articles with Posterous, order Accutane from mexican pharmacy, the link you share is a link to your Posterous blog… not to the original article. That’s problematic for me. Purchase Accutane online no prescription, This linking process (and the Facebook/Twitter integration) is done via a bookmarklet in Firefox, like ShareIn, and your “share” settings within Posterous (they include more services than just Facebook and Twitter). Accutane For Sale, [BTW – Posterous is essentially a blogging service, like Soup.io, Tumblr and other blogs.. but it’s different, Accutane gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release, because it’s primarily designed to blog things that you send in via email. You send content (photos, Accutane natural, videos, documents, etc.) to post@posterous.com, and the information is nicely posted to your Posterous blog, online buy Accutane without a prescription. Mine is http://phildunn.posterous.com/. It’s quick and easy to set up. Check out the Posterous site to see more of the benefits and unique features, Accutane For Sale. Accutane reviews, It’s pretty slick.]

The way Posterous links is problematic, because of the way my Twitter and Facebook followers consume information. In Facebook, for example, buy Accutane from canada, the peruser of my content sees a nifty graphic or photo related to the story I linked to, but the link itself goes to my Posterous page, Accutane treatment, and on that page there’s only a tiny little link that goes to the original article (it’s easy to miss it). The common experience on Facebook is to click on the link and arrive at the article or media. With Posterous posts, I’m forcing them to jump through a multiple click process – if they even see the link to the original content in the Posterous post, Accutane dose. Accutane For Sale, The same thing happens with the Twitter links that are created by Posterous.

I didn’t like that – so that’s why I ended up at ShareIn.

Posterous is great, Accutane coupon, however, for sharing family photos and videos.. and then having them automatically blast out to Twitter and Facebook friends. That feature works great, Accutane photos. Posterous makes slick galleries of multiple photos and those show up really nicely in Facebook, Accutane For Sale. If you post from YouTube that shows up nicely in Facebook, as well. Cheap Accutane, My deal is that I want one tool to make all these things happen with a minimum number of clicks. Is that so much to ask.

Soup.io is somewhat different animal. Accutane For Sale, It’s like Posterous in that you can send emails to Soup.io, and they’re posted on your blog page. In a way, purchase Accutane for sale, it’s like Posterous in reverse, however. Purchase Accutane, With Soup.io, you *import* content into your blog page from other services like Twitter, FriendFeed and so forth (I didn’t see Facebook integration available). This reminds me, Accutane australia, uk, us, usa. I want to talk a little about FriendFeed at the end of this article.. coming soon, Accutane For Sale. Here’s what my Soup.io page looks like: http://phildunn.soup.io/ (admittedly, Doses Accutane work, I don’t spend as much time here as I do other places).

When I set up “import” with Twitter and YouTube, for example, Soup.io grabs all my shared content on those services and shows them in my Soup.io feed, after Accutane. This happens automatically moving forward. I’ve yet to see a way to click the “post to soup” bookmarklet and have that content automatically update my Facebook and Twitter feeds. Accutane For Sale, So Soup.io is not quite there yet, either. Accutane wiki, All these platforms have nifty features, but they’re not quite optimal for a user like me who wants to share articles, videos, photos and personal blog info, Accutane from canadian pharmacy, links, etc. Accutane steet value, I’d say ShareIn is the best option for posting online content to Twitter and Facebook. Posterous is great for posting personal photos and videos and having that propagate out to Facebook and Twitter automatically (along with a host of other platforms – you can even have it automatically update your own blog, like a WordPress blog or Blogger blog). Soup.io is good for bringing everything to one place… the problem is that you have to update all the other services separately, Accutane used for, and that doesn’t make any sense at all to me. I want a place where I can post once and forget about visiting Twitter and Facebook until there’s some interest or discussion going on those particular platforms, Accutane For Sale.

Now this brings me to FriendFeed, Accutane no prescription, which is kind of a hybrid. It’s half Soup.io because it allows you to import content from a lot of your favorite sites, like Facebook, Twitter, Accutane from canada, Google Reader, Picasa, Real brand Accutane online, Flickr, Digg, YouTube, etc.  And it’s half Posterous, Accutane dosage, because it allows you to automatically publish (export) your FriendFeed updates to Twitter. There are currently Facebook apps that appear to enable updating of Facebook via FriendFeed, Accutane results, but I’ve yet to see something that looks reliable (please let me know if I’ve missed something). The intriguing thing is that Facebook recently bought FriendFeed, so there’s bound to be better integration coming down the line… or a transformation of Facebook and the obliteration of FriendFeed. Accutane For Sale, Who knows.

So there you have it, Accutane pictures. I’m sticking with ShareIn for most of my needs. But I am using Posterous for family stuff (photos, Accutane pharmacy, videos and such). One caveat: if you want all these things to work well together, you need to have your settings in each platform perfect. Otherwise, you’ll multiple post to different social media sites, Accutane For Sale. And that’s annoying, Accutane price. It’s pretty easy, though, so I won’t get into it here.

I’ve got another post coming about Eye-Fi – this one is perhaps the best technology innovation for social media I’ve ever encountered (as it pertains to photo and video sharing). This falls under the same category of this post, which is “How to make social media easier.” Until then, enjoy.

    Great piece Phil – I can really see where you're coming from, although I find that I very rarely want to just share a link, and if I do then it's usually something that I either want to share with my real life friends (Facebook) or my online friends (Twitter) and it's very rare that the two meet.

    I do however usually want to either post a picture of something random I've seen, or make a couple of quick comments about a particular article that I'm sharing, and that's where Posterous is a godsend.

    If I want to quote the article then I can just use the handy bookmarklet which copies the article and makes it all ready fro me to trim down, if I want to just pick an image instead then that works too, and if I just want to rant on and let people follow the link to find out why then they're welcome to!

    But I think the important thing that people need to know is that these sorts of social sharing facilities are available, and are very different animals indeed. It's vital that people find the right one for them and experiment. Thanks for giving us a comparison to use when recommending these to people.

    Thanks for your input – much appreciated insights.

    These poor platform/tool developers! User habits are so different. I like ShareIn because you can post to facebook or to twitter or to both by just checking the box. I have the same issue/challenge you do with business/twitter and “real life” friends. These areas do bleed together sometimes, tho.

    I definitely like the highlight and Posterous feature, like you. That's slick. My only reservation is that the title is linked to the Posterous post (as opposed to the original article) and the real link is so tiny.. below the post.

    Concur on your last point.. The software developers are definitely in a “fluid” situation as their users do different things and request unique features/capabilities.

    There's something I should note about ShareIn. When you're using this in combination with a tool like Tweetdeck or Seesmic Desktop, you're essentially cutting out the RT (retweet) process. This is anti-social, really. There's a trade-off between efficiency and “being cool” to your followers/friends.

    Hi Phil

    Firstly thanks for commenting on my blog and providing a link to this post.

    I have to say I had never heard of Sharein before and glad I now know about it.. it looks like a great tool, one that I will be trying for sure.

    FriendFeed I use quite a bit and Soup.io is similar to Posterous (and I am happy with using that service presently).

    A few months ago I did up a post on how my data flows through my social networks which may interest you and give you and idea of how I have tried to gain maximum exposure by using different tools http://thesocialmediaguide.com.au/2009/05/21/so...

    It has changed a bit since then but gives a good snapshot of things back in May.

    Cheers
    Matt

    Thanks Matt. ShareIn is definitely useful. There's an interesting angle,
    tho. When you follow a bit.ly type url from Twitter then “share” it with
    ShareIn, you're eliminating some of the social-ness from the equation….
    because the RT doesn't happen. It breaks the chain so to speak. It is
    easier, however – fewer steps to getting things done/shared.

    Have you tinkered with Ping.fm yet? I have yet to dive into it. It's yet
    another avenue. I see some of the heavyweights using this. I was reading a
    Chris Brogan article earlier today that recommended not using autoupdate
    tools. Article here: http://www.chrisbrogan.com/if-i-started-today/#

  • http://thesocialmediaguide.com.au/ M@tt

    Hi Phil

    Yes I use Ping.fm a fair bit to help spread my content into different networks.

    I have done up a guide that maybe helpful on how to use Ping.fm http://thesocialmediaguide.com.au/2009/05/10/ho...
