Broadcast social media messages via Ping.fm

Using the Link Infinity control panel, post messages to multiple services. A form to interact with your Ping.fm account displays on the control panel, your home page when logged in. Select the type (status, microblog or blog) and enter your message. Fields such as mood and location are also available. Simply press the "Send" button when complete.

If you don't already have a Ping.fm account, create one at http://ping.fm. Define your services (ex. Twitter, Facebook, MySpace) and obtain a user application key which permits other services like Link Infinity to communicate without disclosing your passwords. After your Ping.fm user application key has been saved within your Link Infinity settings, the form will display on the control panel and you are ready to start broadcasting social media messages.
