Make Announcements Using Ping.fm On Your Phone

December 18th, 2008 • Mark Guim • Filed Under •

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.

The Proposal

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.
