Social Networking From Your Mobile Phone

Well, it’s taken me about 6 months & trying out tons of apps but I think i’ve finally figured out a workable combination. 4 synching my blog w/ twitter & Facebook & being able 2 do it all from my phone.
If u wanna email it in there’s Ping & Posterous. They work. I have friends that use Posterous & they like it but what i’ve seen from casual phone users is that its a good way 2 post mobile pics.
Not very practical 4 me because I have a Crackberry & if u have 1 too, u knows wot I’m saying! For those of you who don’t have 1, Crackberrys are prbly the CRAPPIEST camera phones i’ve ever owned!!! They SUK @ taking pictures!
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my crackberry but if ur planning on taking lots of pics, this phone ain’t 4 u!
But I digress…
PING works pretty good & is very versatile @ synch posting between a lot of ur networks but wot I’m not happy with it is that if u use Ping 2 forward 2 Twitter w/ Twitter, if u post something longer than 140 characters, it throws up a link 2 year other network or blog u posted to so u can see the rest of the post.
I know that is getting very popular & everyone is doing it but call me old school if u must (only been tweeting 4 a year, lulz!) but I LIKE the concept of trying 2 say wots u gots to say in a certain amount of space in 140 characters or less, that’s the POINT! Everybody seems 2 be getting away from that concept by posting something like this & then throwing a link in 2 see the rest of it.
If that works 4 u, fine but I just think it’s a great big FAIL. That’s why, after playing around with all this social network & testing it out 2 see wot works best 4 ME, I’m gonna keep the Twitter aspect separate.
So here comes Tumblr. Been playing around w/ that 4 about a year and they just this week created a Crackberry app 4 it which so far seems 2 be awesome. And Tumblr integrates well w/ Facebook & Twitter & I can use Twitter 2 post 2 MySpace so its all starting 2 come together. For those of u thinking I’m a loser because I’m still ON MySpace, LOL, I KNOW but I have a couple of friends whoabsolutely REFUSE 2 use anything else & I like 2 keep in touch w/ them so there.
So, 2 wrap things up, sorry for rambling but I’m still testing things out a little & posting this from my Crackberry using the Tumblr app. Like I said, I tried Ping but would have 2 log in 2 Tumblr & edit the post so we’ll see how this works.
In regards 2 Twitter, like I said previously, I think I’m just gonna leave it separate. There’s a TON of phone apps 4 it too & i’ve tried a lot of them. I’m currently using Seesmic & it seems to be the best 1 I’ve used so far… Got a friend who tweets her ass off & does it just by using the SMS & MMS functions on her phone & is a real wizard at it so I may spend some time playing with that option..
And that wraps things up on my end. Feel free 2 post ur opinions in the comrents section.
TTFN…
