HelloTxt: One App to Post to them All

As you know, I’m a big fan of any application that make my life easier. Particularly if it can round up and harness the power of multiple applications. I use Friendfeed to feed my blogs and tweets to Facebook. For a time I was using TwitterUpdater to send my blog posts to Twitter, but for some reason, it stopped working. I tested Brightkit (now HootSuite), but my posts weren’t sent or there was a long delay. Then one of my Twitter buddies suggested HelloTxt.

HelloTxt allows you to post your status once and have it show up on all your other networks. One application to post to them all! You can also read your friends’ updates as well.

You can use the site to update your status or send it via email even from a mobile phone. It also has a WordPress plugin (which I use) so that your blog posts can show up your Twitter and other social networks. It works with about 40 social networks including Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Plaxo, FriendFeed, Flickr and more.

Its free to use and easy to set up. To learn more and sign up visit HelloTxt.

ScribeFire Makes Blogging a Snap

At the recommendation of one of the women in my mastermind group, I decided to try out ScribeFire a Firefox blogging ad-on. Once installed, ScribeFire puts a little icon at the bottom of your screen. When you want to post to your blog, simply click the icon and start writing, enter your categories and options, preview, and then publish to your blog. It works with a variety of platforms including WordPress, Movable Type, LiveJournal, Xanga, Windows Live Spaces, Tumblr, MySpace, Blogger and more.

Another great funtion is the ability to drag and drop formatted text from the Internet into your blog. (I highlighed and then dragged the list below right from the ScribeFire website)

• Categorize and tag your blog posts
• Upload images
• Set timestamps
• Save works-in-progress as notes
• Post an entry as a draft
• Share your posts on social websites
• Upload files via FTP

Scribefire also offers Quick Ads which can be used to quickly and easily monetize your blog through a variety of advertising resources.
