2. Ping.fm is a social media site that allows users to update their social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter in one single post. What it is:
3. Created by Adam Duffy and Sean McCullough in September 2008 Felt it was redundant to keep making same update on different sites Dozens of sites to send updates too
4.
5. Could not find demographics for Ping.fm Twitter and Facebook Demographics Users
7. Organizations with multiple social networks Different people use different social networking sites Get message across to many people Corporate Uses
8. Reach students on a familiar level Get messages out quickly Some student may only use one of the many different social networking sites Academic Institutions
9. Again, get messages out quickly Letting users know about fundraising opportunities Make sure every platform gets same information Non-Profit Institutions
10. Overall, good idea if users want to send same message to all social networking sites Good if use many sites, may not be if only use a few sites Still have to check responses on individual social networking sites
