I love tools that give me maximum exposure with minimal effort. 

I use Twitter Feed (www.twitterfeed.com) to move posts from my blog to my twitter profile.  My twitter profile links into my Facebook status - and poof - one writing is now in front of hundreds (dare I say thousands) of people.

Twitter Feed checks my blog hourly for new posts (you can adjust the time span) and adds the post title, some description and a tiny url link to my twitter profile (www.twitter.com/newward while you are there - follow me :) )

I use several tools to pull my blog into my Facebook profile and pages.  The first is the Twitter app that takes my latest twitter post and puts it in my status bar.  The second is the Blog RSS Feeder which imports my new blog posts and third I have the Notes application automatically import my newest blog posts onto my Profile page ( http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=675796115)  and the NewWard Fan Page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ballston-Spa-NY/NewWard-Development-LLC/7345601548).

So - check out Twitterfeed (http://www.twitterfeed/) and some of the handy Facebook applications that enable you to write once and span your social network in the blink of an eye :)

Many people are trying to figure out just why Twitter is useful.  Twitter is  a micro bloging system where each post is 140 characters that let’s your friends (and the rest of the world) know what you are up to at a given moment in time.   It’s like text messaging on steroids.

There are many applications that take advantage of Twitters API and aggragates information.  Twist http://twist.flaptor.com/ helps you to sort through what is being posted on Twitter, which can be quite useful for your marketing.   Let’s say I am preparing to write a Real Estate Blog post and I want to know what other people are talking about.  I go to Twist, enter in real estate and graph on the popularity of the term.
http://twist.flaptor.com/?gram=real+estate+&table=0 - the graph shows me the highs and lows for the week (you can also select month or all data).

I can then click the link and see what people are talking about in Real Estate

I now know that a blog post about real estate values and various commercial deals will be well received - as they are popular topics at the moment.

Give it a try :)
