Thanks to Ping.fm I can finally be apart of more of these social sites without jumping here and there every time I want to update something. The best way to describe it is that it is a tool that just brings it all together. You can do status updates, blog updates, or micro-blog updates depending on the tools you are using it with.
Currently, here are the places you can follow me:
Bebo, Facebook, Hi5, LinkedIn, LiveJournal, Mashable, MySpace, Plurk, Pownce, Tumblr, and of course everybody’s favorite red headed step child Twitter.
Of course I’m not just looking for multiple avenues to plug and market myself, I’ve also been just sharing random Mitch-like nuggets of wisdom and random things that pop into my head that I just need to get out during the day.
Ping.fm is my new best friend on this social Web we live on today.

Taking the link shortening service to a new level, TinySong allows you to type in the name of any song and get a shortened link to it to share with others. For example, lets say I knew you were in the mood for some Van Halen (with David Lee Roth of course, Sammy Hagar is not welcomed here). Now I go to TinySong.com and type in “Jump”. The number two result there is “Jump” by Van Halen. Click on that and your done.
Now I can share that song with all of you here:

Of course this makes sharing song recomendations REALLY easy. This is all powered by Grooveshark, which is an awesome service in it own right that is well worth checking out too. Go give TinySong a test to see if it can pull up the song you have stuck in your head right now…

Twitter has gone from something I used to think was silly to something I find both highly addictive and handy at the same time.
If you overlook its flaws it is a great way to spread the word about yourself or pickup on small delights your friends might send your way during the day. Here are a few more ways to get more from Twitter.
Twitter Greasemonkey Scripts
Twitter Firefox Extensions
Twitter Resources and Help
Have any more suggestions? Send them my way or drop in an comment. Would love to hear any and all Twitter tips you might have.

How does it go again, if you can’t beat them - join them? How about copying them instead? There seem to be a lot of clone scripts out there for some of the more popular destinations on the Web.
Attack of the Web 2.0 Clones!
* = need to pay for it
** = not really a clone, is the software used to run Wikipedia
See, even you can run your own Web 2.0 masterpiece! All you need is a little time, a solid hosting account and your own origional take, version or spin on the already popular idea.

I have friends that come to me and say…
"Ok Mitch, I got a Twitter account, now what?"
Many people look at Twitter and either don’t understand it or use it to give me a summary of what they had for breakfast (just in case you were wondering, I had toast). Here are five ways of twittering your way to success:
- Share with me one of your bookmarks, or an article on a site you found interesting today
- Grab a photo from your Flickr (or any other photo sharing service) site and link me to it
- Plug your own blog, projects and work so I can check it out
- Use a service like Twitter Feed to bring your other RSS feed content into your Twitter account
- Invite your interesting friends, that you think should be twittering
If your looking for your first friend on Twitter feel free to use me:

I once was one of those people who thought that Twitter was nothing more than a waste of time. I am happy to say though I am a full fledged Kool-aid drinker now. Honestly I see no reason why any person or company shouldn’t be doing this. From a marketing stand point alone it is another great way to get yourself out there.

Here are the social tools I use thus far in the order that I use them (from least to most). I do my best to try everything, but these are some that I have actually signed up for and used.
Flickr - I really need to get back into photography, guess I can’t blame this one on Yahoo or Flickr. It is my fault I can’t find time to pick up the ol’ camera.
MyBlogLog - This used to be really active and exciting - well, until everybody wanted to be friends with everybody and I started getting messages from threatening strippers.
Pownce - * See MyBlogLog (really don’t even visit this much anymore)
LinkedIn - I am amazed I use Linkedin as much as I do. At first, it was just a kind of MySpace for “grown ups” but now it is a useful tool to get in contact with some of the movers and shakers in the hosting industry.
Twitter - I like to skim through Twitter a few times a day, and I do have to say even though I wasn’t a believer at first I really like this tool for a lot of reasons. I sipped the Kool-aid, and I like the taste.
Facebook - This is another one of those tools that I probably should spend more time playing with but I don’t. Login once a day, skim through the news feed - put I promise I’ll change, well perhaps.
MySpace - I hate MySpace to death, but since I know more people on it than anywhere else I am stuck with it. Kind of like the old girlfriend you know has done you wrong but you keep coming back because the other girls just don’t look at you the same way. Oh yeah, and the strippers on MySpace are friendlier.
Am I missing out on one? I like to get everything a shot - but with a dozen coming out daily it is hard to try them all. Maybe I should just start up a Ning! network for one of my projects and be done with it?
