<p><img style="max-width: 800px;" src="http://guruofsales.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/ping.png" /><br />The fun and extremely useful service is now open to public beta.<br />As some of you may know, I am a member of 67 social networking services, that means 67 online profiles that I have to maintain regularly, Do you you how hard it is do do so? You probably do.<br />That was until I discovered the best tool of 2008 in my opinion, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ping.fm">www.ping.fm</a> and until September 2nd, it was an invite only beta service.<br />Well now it&#8217;s open to the public, still in beta, but open to all.<br /><b>What is Ping.fm?</b><br />Let&#8217;s say you have multiple online profiles, like me, you might want to update all of them almost everyday.<br />Before Ping, I would manually go on my <a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/guruofsales">twitter</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=540610872">facebook</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.plurk.com/user/guruofsales">plurk</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://pownce.com/guruofsales/">pownce</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/guruofsales">linkedin</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://guruofsales.tumblr.com/">tumbler</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://identi.ca/guruofsales">identica</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://brightkite.com/people/guruofsales">brightkite</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://friendfeed.com/guruofsales">freindfeed</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://guruofsales.jaiku.com/">jaiku</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://guruofsales.myplaxo.com/">plaxo</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.bebo.com/AhmedAlexM">bebo</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://guruofsales.hi5.com/">hi5</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.kwippy.com/guruofsales/">kwippy</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.xanga.com/guruofsales">xanga</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://rejaw.com/guruofsales">rejaw</a> to update my status, sometimes twice a day for each one.<br />After I got my special beta invie code and signed up with Ping.fm, set it up, I can update all the above and more in one shot, whether I am updating from web, phone, email or IM, it&#8217;s all in one shot, life became way easier <img src='http://www.guruofsales.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> <br />Now here is the best part: (Warning! geeks content follow)<br />Ping was built with open API calls, meaning if you hire a nerd like myself (And you can!) to set it up with your blog or RSS feed, guess what? You know it. More organic exposure. I even setup some of my affiliate feeds to go there immediatly and I can&#8217;t tell you how much I love getting those extra commision checks in the mail.<br />Ping.fm is more than just status update, you can even setup your wordpress blog so you can blog through Ping.<br />I advice everyone to get an account (Now that it&#8217;s open to all) and enjoy everything Ping offers.</p>
<p><b>Update:</b> I have some <a target="_blank" href="http://brightkite.com/people/guruofsales">Brightkite invites</a>, comment on this article and I will email you an invite. (Hurry I only have 10 invites and I will send it to the first 10 commenters only).</p>
