Using Ping.fm to Update Your Status

Ping.fm (Ping.Fm) has become a standby one-stop notification service for all of your favorite social networks. You can send and receive notifications from almost anywhere.

And recently they added the ability to ping your Facebook Pages, a necessity for page admins who manage multiple social media sites. Ping.fm has risen to the challenge, so now you can automatically ping any of the Facebook Pages you administer with updates and photos.

To setup Ping.fm for Facebook Pages, follow their instruction guide. Essentially, you'll need to add the Ping.fm Facebook application to the pages you administer. It's a bit of a tricky setup process, so make sure you follow the instructions carefully.

Once the Facebook (Facebook) setup is complete, and you grant permissions for the appropriate pages, you can return to Ping.fm and adjust the Facebook Pages settings. Your options include posting status updates, notes, and photos to pages.

Even though the setup process is more complicated than we'd like, having the functionality to post updates via Ping.fm to Facebook Pages is worth it. And, it's just another reason why brands should really love the new look and feel of Facebook.
