How can I possibly keep up with all of my Social Media Profiles?


FriendFeed

The original tool for the social media multi-tasker. However, it does just the opposite of the other sites listed here: it actually gives you the ability to keep track of your friends on all of your other social networks. See what Johnny is doing on Twitter, what Billy is doing on Facebook, and what Sue’s doing on Flickr. It literally is your friend feed.

ping networksPing.fm

To this day, Ping is still my favorite social media managing site both on the computer and on the iPhone. They have the largest number of available networks to quite literally “ping” a message to.

Here’s the list of networks I subscribe to via ping, with many more popular networks available too.

TweetDeck

TweetDeck makes it easy to reach out to my two favorite social networks: Facebook and Twitter. TweetDeck also has a great groups interface to split the Twitter folks I follow into certain categories. For example, two of my categories are SEO and Maine.

HootSuite

The newest tool I’ve been testing out. Initially built as a Twitter collaboration tool, with v 2.0 you can now track your statistics – enabling you to see who clicked what link you posted, as well as many other cool features! HootSuite is ideal for a company’s Twitter account, as it easily gives multiple members access to a single account.

These are just a few of the social media management sites and tools out there – and only ones I use at that. Which are your favorite?

    Hi Nicki – After you mentioned ping.fm on your blog a couple of times, I checked it out and it is sweet. Thanks for the suggestion. During my first round of updates, I ended up having the same post repeated on my Facebook status updates like, six times, but practice makes perfect. =)

    One problem I ran into was that my WordPress blog is on its own URL and I couldn’t update it from the ping interface. However, I found this link to a WordPress plugin that might be helpful to your readers. This allows for blog updating right from the ping interface if you have a blog with a non-Wordpress URL. This link goes to the download and provides instructions.

    Thanks again!
