Sharing Content and Links Systematically Through 3 Popular Social Networks

Introduction

The purpose of this article is to give ideas on how to systematically share content and links through 3 popular social networks: Twitter, Friendfeed, and Facebook. The system can give your social network the latest news and information on both the Church and the internet, and at the same time save you on time and energy.

A linked system

Before FriendFeed became a part of the Facebook network, you can already add it to your Facebook Profile page. To do this, you can check the article " Adding FriendFeed to Your Facebook Profile". And since FriendFeed aggregates content and links from different sites, you can add Twitter as one of the sites which FriendFeed includes in its stream of content and links. After making these two links, any "tweet" you place at Twitter will go to FriendFeed first, and then FriendFeed in turn will deliver the content to your Facebook Profile page. This system saves you time and energy, because you are able to share content and links to three social networks with just "tweets" at Twitter.

A system for editing and optimizing web pages

As a Catholic web site developer, you can do more things with less time using this system. You can also share the new content of your site through this system. As you also regularly optimize a web page and want to republish it, then you can use this linked system among the three social networks. By simply posting the link of your page as a "tweet" in Twitter, it will then be delivered to FriendFeed, and then sent to Facebook.

Adding the latest content and links

You can make your content and link sharing a rich multimedia experience (including audio and video files), by visiting Catholic news sites and Technology news sites. Many of these sites have the light-blue Twitter icon at the bottom of each article, so you can easily "tweet" the article to your Twitter account. If the news article does not have this function, you can just copy the URL and shorten it via Tinyurl.com or Bit.ly. The shortened URL will make it possible to share your link within the 140 character limit given by Twitter.

Summary and conclusion

The Web is always evolving. It is good to find means and way by which you can develop your small Catholic web site, and build a social network so that your contacts can be updated and kept informed. The system proposed in this article is one such system. You can create many systems. Social networks at this time are merging more and more of their services, so that one input in a social network gets distributed through many channels. This article gives an idea of how you can link three social networks, and create a system for sharing. Once you learn this idea and learn of how the other social networks are merging and mashing up their services, you can create an even more organized and expanded distribution channel for sharing your content and information in rich multimedia form.
