Ping.fm Now Supports RSS

Ping.fm has become an essential tool for many Internet marketers because of its ability to post updates to many social networks at once. Now, bloggers and publishers get a new feature - RSS support. This feature, powered by Superfeedr, can be set up in your Ping.fm dashboard. Enter your feed and each new blog post will be posted as a status update to all of your chosen networks, up to 50 of them.

For now, the service only supports one feed, but plans are already in the works to support multiple feeds.

While this might be enticing for bloggers and publishers, it's also somewhat of a slippery slope. If you publish several blog posts per day, expect some kind of blowback from other users. As noted countless times, we are still dealing with a personal space in other users' social profiles - so tread lightly until you determine if automated blog posting is even wanted by your audience.
