One of the questions most asked of me, is how do I manage this complete mindblow that is Social Media?
Blogging, Twittering, Facebooking, MySpaceing, Deliciousing, StumbleUponing, Digging, YouTubing, Flickring... It can all get a bit too much - especially if you're serious about monitoring the behaviours of your potential market on all of these channels...
Luckily, there are several solutions for you out there. Aggregators are time-saving, Social Media management tools, designed to let you say something once, and to spread the word for you on all of your registered channels.
They work by becoming the 'middleman'. All you do is register, hook in all of your accounts, and presto, you're in complete control.
Here are some of the more popular ones:
Ping.fm: One that I use most often. It's fast and extremely powerful, and can do much more than just plain spread your words. There's an absolute goldmine of tools in Ping.fm
TweetDeck.com: One of the most popular, and another that I use (especially because of it's awesome iPhone app). This actual program (you have to download and install for it to work), displays columns from all your major Social Media accounts and allows for you to to say something one, and it is posted to all... Missing here is the ability to send Blogs out...
Seesmic.com: Another popular Social Media management too, quite similar in functionality to TweetDeck, but without the requirement of an install.
There are plenty of others out there (which have not had as much coverage as the major ones), but the most important thing to look for in an Aggregator is its functionality. Find one that serves your purpose better, easier, faster, and commit to it.
People love consistency.
Until Next Time,
