Ping.fm

Do you want to update all your social networking websites, but simply do not have the time for copying and pasting? Not to worry, Ping.fm is here! It’s a nice new service that allows you to update all of your social networking websites with just one click!

Another great thing is, they have a trigger system that makes it easier to post to specific services. They’ve have broken down the services into three groups; blogging, micro-blogging and status updates. So if you only wanted to update your status on various websites, you can do so without posting to a blog website. It’s lovely, try it out! Leave a comment if you need an invite code.

Myspace Captcha

I’m sorry to complain, but Myspace’s use of captcha is quite annoying! I only log in to reply to messages nowadays. When I reply, I have usually have to fill out the captcha a few times because it’s so hard to read.

Today I filled it out three times.

Facebook Chat

I just logged into Facebook, and saw this at the bottom of my browser. I guess Facebook Chat has been released. It looks great so far. I’ll have to test it out a little bit later (when my friends are actually awake!)

SocialThing!

I just signed up for SocialThing! and I love it so far. The concept is simple really. It’s a website that helps you organize your digital life all in one place.

Socialthing! makes it easy to see all the things your friends are doing. It’s a news feed for every site that you use in one place.

It’s like an RSS reader for everything and anything you and your friends do online. So far, they have Facebook, Flickr, LiveJournal, Pownce, Twitter, and Vimeo connected. There’s also an area where you can vote for what websites they should work on connecting to next. I voted for all the apps I use.

I really love the concept, and I hope this takes off well!

DinglePop

Just played a few rounds of DinglePop at i’m in like with you! It’s quite addictive, but I must stop to get some real work done! If you’re bored, go waste time at i’m in like with you! ;)

Flickr, Now with Video

It looks like Flickr now has Video as of today! But read the rules before you start uploading content. Videos are to be under 90 seconds that you have created yourself. They’re going for the “long photo” feel.
