The main drawbacks I see to using something like ping.fm are the inability to select which sites you want THAT update to go to and not being able to customize what you share by where it is going.

I came up with my own system of doing a thumbs up and writing a review at StumbleUpon (SU) – keeping Twitter 140 character limit in mind when writing the beginnning of it.

I then feed that review (using more than one tool) to Twitter, FriendFeed, Facebook and (when I can keep it working Delicious). I’ve been meaning to write up that process and publish it.

By reviewing first on SU I can share images, longer comments, and excerpts from the post. Only the first part goes to Twitter and that is fine. The longer version goes to Facebook and FriendFeed but alas the images don’t get fed even though FriendFeed’s own Share on FriendFeed tool accepts images.

Do those of you who are using ping.fm believe it would be a better option? What are the pros and cons you have found from using it? (I have read the entire post and the comments above this one so thanks for those insights.) I’ll come back and read whatever others have to share as well.

For those who don’t know me yet I want to specifically mention the post featured in CommentLuv in this comment. It covers THE most important thing you can do for any Web site – so important that if you don’t understand it I will personally work free one-on-one with anyone who needs assistance getting it done.
