I do *some* posting onto multiple sites (mostly facebook and twitter), but very rarely. Like you said, they should be all treated as different mediums.

Thanks Alissa! Didn’t intend to piggyback your post but it struck a chord. I’m a manual updater (for the most part). And I hate reading random Twitter updates on LinkedIn!

My monitoring and measuring systems are fairly manual as well – which we can do because our clients are small- and medium-sized businesses. At some level, strangely, I distrust automation. Gotta get my hands and eyes on the raw data. Maybe it’s the control freak in me!

I’m glad I’m not the only one annoyed with the constant use of syndicated updates. It’s a topic that my husband (who uses them all the time) and I discuss frequently, but we never agree.

In my mind, I don’t consider TubeMogul to be a direct comparison to Ping.FM. TubeMogul truly saves a ton of time because of the video rendering process. And it offers features that Ping.FM does not – tags, customization for each outlet, stat tracking. I think it’s a great tool! (Assuming you’re following up with the comments left on each.)

Thanks for the link/mention, by the way. I appreciate it!
