When you are using LinkedIn, FaceBook, Twitter and other social communities for your work, it would be nice if you can update those with a minor amount of effort. You only want to post new messages / tutorials / nice features to your weblog and all the other parts have to come automatically. This is possible using and connecting existing services on the web. In the presentation included in this webblog I explain how you can connect them.

The process goes like this:

1. Your webblog provides an RSS feed
2. With Yahoo Pipe you can use some filters, so you not have to post everything on your Twitter
3. Use FeedBurner to create an SEO URL, gain statistics and give the possibility to subscribe via email
4. Use Twitterfeed as a cronjob and generate posts to Ping.fm with short URL from bit.ly
   
5. Use Ping.fm to receive from Twitterfeed and post messages into your LinkedIn, FaceBook, Twitter and many others
