Make Announcements Using Ping.fm On Your Phone
I use Jaiku, Twitter, and Facebook to update other bloggers, friends, or family what I’m doing. The three services serve different purposes and audience for me, so I rarely update all statuses with the same information. However, there are some things I want to tell everyone about… like the time I popped the big question. Thanks to Ping.fm on my phone, I was able to announce my engagement.
In summary, Ping.fm allows me to update my status in all of the services I use with just one post. Having a mobile site (m.ping.fm) is one big plus! I used the Nokia N95 8GB.
Instead of texting or calling my close friends one by one, most found out through Facebook right away! Jaiku and Twitter is another way for the blog readers here and other bloggers to connect with me. I was very thankful for the congratulation messages.

Are You Using It?
Ping.fm played an important role on a day very special to me. Are you using Ping.fm on your Nokia phone? How do you like it?

Mark Guim on 18 December 2008:
@James Whatley, thanks… if i only knew about the spinvox + ping.fm integration back then… it would have been quicker by calling it in instead of typing!

I actually use the mobile site of hellotxt.com. I think it does just about the same, and it suits me well.
