   Onlywire has been showing me no love lately. I actually tried out socialmarket (dot) com but unless I wasn't doing it right seemed like I had to sign in to each account every time individually. So, I'm ping'ng it. It's simple, fast, and a great way to share content with others.

   Hi Jeremiah,

   We looked at http://www.socialmarker.com and took it for a test spin, and you are right you would need to logged to each social account (or already be logged in) for it to work.

   Glad you are ping'ng your way to syndication.

   Enjoy.

   Hmmm, how did you get Delicious working on Ping.fm? I was fed some blurb about it moving Oauth and would not let me add that network…

   William,

   Glad you enjoyed the video, we believe the message you are seeing is:

   "Delicious has recently moved to an OAuth platform for authentication. New delicious users won't be able to authenticate their accounts until Delicious opens up the API so we can upgrade."

   We setup our ping.fm account and the supported sites a couple of years ago. We just had to use our Delicious account name and password back then. As the message states you'll have to wait until Delicious opens up the API. That is a pit of a pain in the A$$ as the moment.

   Hope that helps,
   ~ Pat

   Pat & Lorna, thanks for the tutorial. I have only been using ping.fm for my social status updates since it's very easy to do with my cell phone.

   But I guess I will have to agree with everyone here that it's time to move from OnlyWire to ping.fm.

   We use both Ping.fm and Onlywire and they both have different social networking sites that they support.

   Think we have resolved our problem with Onlywire and will do a video showing what's working for us.

   Hi Pat & Lorna,

   Ping.fm is such a great time saving tool. I have been using it for quite some time and really think more people should use it. The tutorial is excellent and I shared it to make sure my followers can gain value from it.

   The Skype option is awesome and I use it on my Blackberry to send messages out all of the time.

   Great post and I look forward to getting to know you all better with the TSA!

    In my opinion Ping is much better than Onlywire. Less error messages which just hold people up.

    Pat and Lorna, this was an excellent tutorial. I do more with ping myself because onlywire seems to have some snags when using it. I keep getting these little boxes popping up and I have to type what I see in the boxes. I am going to go look at Hootsuite and get set up with that. I didn't know about that one. Thank you very much for the information! As always another great visit.

    I started out with Ping.fm then migrated over to HootSuite. I do still use it though since it links with HootSuite (handy feature) and it saves me a TON of time. I've never tried OnlyWire.

    What I love most about HootSuite is that I can schedule updates and add team members to help me manage client accounts.

    I used to be a big fan of this, however, I haven't had the time to go back and use it. I use another program.

    Regardless, tools like this can really save us a lot of time. And that is extremely important for us home business owners because 80% of our business building hours should be dedicated to prospecting. So wherever we can save time is a good thing.

    Hey guys, this was great! Very informative, explained very nicely and SIMPLY. I need the "simple" part, and the step-by-step part : ) I liked the review, too — it takes a few times through for me anyway. And having the written information below the video is wonderful.

    I'm glad to see that in your list, FB Like Pages are included in the Ping. I saw Wordpress.com was listed, but not Wordpress.org. Since I have not used Ping yet, I'm not even sure what that means, but why not Wordpress.org? Or is that too complicated for a short answer?

    Ok — NOW I know what people are talking about when they Ping something : ) Thanks!

    Hi Sherry,

    Glad the video helped out.

    You are mostly posting (Ping) information to social media sites (Facbook, Twitter, etc.) It's not to often that you want to post (Ping) information to your WordPress.org blog. It's usually the other way around. So you would normally put a widget (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) on your blog instead.

    We also noticed that you current don't have an Gravatar (picture beside your comment) we have a video training on that too => http://TheCoolestCouple.com/Gravatar101

    Hope that helps,

    The core of your writing whilst sounding reasonable at first, did not really work very well with me after some time. Someplace throughout the paragraphs you actually were able to make me a believer unfortunately only for a very short while. I however have a problem with your jumps in logic and one would do nicely to help fill in all those gaps. In the event that you can accomplish that, I will definitely end up being amazed.
