Question

Hi all,

Like many people, I have accounts on facebook, twitter, tumblr and this and that...

I'm looking for the ultimate solution for combining social networking sites. Something like Ping.fm. Update in one place and the others get updated automatically.

Is Ping.fm the only solution? How do you update your various social sites? How do you keep updated?

Thanks.

I'm a big fan of TweetDeck. Tweetdeck lets you keep track of multiple twitter accounts (yeah, I have several), as well as Facebook. Importantly, once you follow 200+ people, you can group your followees so that if you want info from one group of users, you can focus exclusively on that. Thus, you can see updates in a narrow set of interests (defined by your group), or open it up to the full torrent of tweets (and they really must roll in if you follow 1,000 plus!).
I especially like the feature of being able to simultaneously post to Facebook (which I view as more relaxed and friendly) as compared to twitter (which I view as a bit like a networking event).
Oh, and the ability to have a filter apply to the entire twitter-stream for your favorite buzz-words --- priceless - all real-time too.
One more thing, Tweetdeck offers a 'twitScoop' which shows not only the currently popular terms being used, but also identifies topics that are gaining momentum... just a great tool all around to get the earliest word on anything.
I almost forgot. It helps me track how many elephants I've bagged.

I haven't tried it, but I've heard good things about Friendfeed.

I haven't tried it yet but you might want to give Streamy a try. Here is a TechCrunch review.

Answer 5

If I am not mistaken, the new Trillian Astra has the ability to add in some social networks in there like Facebook. Not sure about how extensible it is towards [insert social network here], however.

Answer 6

I think Ping.fm is the best solution.

Answer 7

Don't you read news? FriendFeed got bought by Facebook because it was a compelling solution to this issue.

Another alternative is: http://tarpipe.com/ although the last time I checked I don't think that this supports Google Buzz.
