Sending ping.fm Updates Through Google Chat

I use google chat alot and also ping.fm. For those of you who are not familiar ping.fm is a service that will update alot of statuses at once, or individually using their @ commands. Ping.fm has made it alot easier to use their service now through google chat. You can add their “bot” to your google chat list and send it messages to post to your various social media profiles. Now if you want to update everything you can without even going to the ping.fm website. You can find instructions on how to send out ping.fm updates on their site here. How do you use ping.fm? Is it a good tool? I have heard both ways on it’s merits. If I send out a ping.fm update I usually check on that service within an hour to see if anyone has said anything back to me. Your comments are welcome!

I really don’t know about this and I am so happy that you share this. I am a google chat user and this is very useful to me.

Thanks!!
