I’ve been trying to use QuickPing on the iPhone to update ping.fm and have been having some issues. First, copying and pasting the mobile PIN was a pain because of my lack of knowledge on copying and pasting on the iPhone. Excuse me, I’ve had it a few days and I have clumsy thumbs. So I went to the web and entered the code from the web into the iPhone manually. Perhaps this was my original problem, I have no idea.

I suppose I will play with the app later when I get to my new place in a few weeks. I did pay 99 cents for it so I would like to know that it is going to work for me or at least those who will use it. If you’ve been successful then I would love to hear about it and please tell me what I’m doing wrong before I have to figure it out

Toodles.

If you’re like me then you have a ton of sites to update with just one post. While searching for something that updated many different sites a friend of mine told me about ping.fm.

ping.fm allows you to enter your content and then it will update up to 40 different social networking sites. It makes life real easy when you’re shooting pictures with the iPhone. I was successfully able to take a picture and have it show up on several different social networking sites.

With this tool you can also create different groups so if you post just pictures then you can pick flickr or radar.net and maybe blogger–essentially any site that allows you to post pictures. There are groups for microblogging and regular blogging as well.

My only two concerns are copied content and the ability to only have one account of each social networking site. I know that copied content can be a big issue with the search engines so it might be best to just use ping.fm with microblogging and photos. The other issue is that you cannot have multiple accounts of the different sites which would be really handy if you have different work and personal accounts.
