Here’s a neat little site that bundles up all your social microblogging platforms into one easy to post to application. HelloTxt.com lets you make one post that will show up in many of your accounts, such as Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Jaiku, Pownce, LinkedIn, Plurk and more.
Thsi can obviously save you from having to do this, but I like the simplicity and swiftness of Hellotxt. This a great way to announce things like blog posts, articles, seminars and almost anything you’d like to the people following you. You can even post videos, images, or use the mobile version.

Now that you’ve jumped into the deep end of social media marketing, one of the very first things you’ll notice is that’s theres a LOT of voices vying for your attention! And most of them are trying to outshout one another. If you’re going to make a dent in this medium, something has to be done!
Just getting past all the noise and developing a plan for your social marketing efforts will be the first major challenge you have to conquer. There is no one right way for everyone to crack this egg; you’ll have to choose cafeteria style which sites, programs, networks make sense for you and your projects. This can change also, as Web 2.0 moves at a speed heretofore unseen! What was here today is gone tomorrow, and it truly is a flavor of the day type of marketing.
Some may use Facebook, MySpace, Mixx, Digg and others, while others may find it more doable to focus on just a few sites. Some depend on an network of blogs, others blog comments and trackbacks. the possibilities are many, but however you decide to do it, make sure that you do it frequently. Remember all those voices vying for attention? Well, you;re one of them too, and if you’re AWOL for too long, you’ll have to regain all your lost ground and relations. This kind of marketing is hands on, in their face, and in a word, social! We want to get to know you!
