A Web 3.0 Side Story

I recently discovered Ping.fm which is a service that allows you to update more than 30 (and growing) social networks in just a few clicks. I’ve tested the service using LinkedIn, facebook and Twitter. Once you’ve added your networks to Ping.fm the updating process is really simple. You simply enter the title of the posting add your message and select one or more of your networks. Once you hit update it takes care of the rest.

You can check out the social networking update service here. Ping.fm

Here is a list of what social networks are currently supported.

The next generation of social interaction on the web will be driven entirely by the need to monetize your network. We are already seeing this happen with such business networking platforms as LinkedIn and facebook (e.g.  American Express facebook groups). If you are a user of these services you may have already noticed how premium services are now being introduced so that you can expand your network or keep abreast of what others are saying about you.

We are becoming addicted to such services and I am the first one to admit that I am one of those people.
