An Easy Way to Manage Multiple Social Media Accounts
 |
If you've been shoehorned, by choice or necessity, into the role of a social community manager, your fingers must ache. It's not easy navigating a multiplicity of social media accounts for yourself and a client—sometimes multiple clients—at the same time.
But thumbs up! The super-helpful iPhone app MySocialMania doesn't just keep you connected to all your socnets on the go, it also cross-updates messages and photos on multiple sites at once, including:
- Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn
- Twitter, Friendster, Google Buzz
- Even Wordpress, Blogger, Tumblr, among others
If MySocialMania feels especially tailored to the needs of an overworked marketer, that's because it was conceived by one.
"While I did online marketing for a company, I was posting updates on multiple sites and it was very time consuming, logging in and out of these accounts multiple times a day, on top of all my personal accounts," says Steven Wilson, who dreamt up the app.

You know, not everyone has an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. Is there going to be a version for those of us non-Apple users?
When choosing your headlines, add MOBILE when you're talking about something exclusive to the mobile community or even iPhone if it's specific to iPhone's only. Don't assume that all of your readers are on iPhone or would appreciate this column. Oh, sorry, less clicks for you, but less p'd off angry readers who actually thought we were going to learn something new and different. I don't have time for feeds that give me useless information from a headline that promised a lot and completely failed to deliver. Boooooo!
@LSP: Not sure about that. I just asked MySocialMania on Twitter to respond to you here.
@Brenda: Thanks so much for your feedback. I apologize if you felt annoyed because we didn't specify more, well... specifically that the tool was both mobile and Apple-centric. I assure you -- no foul intended, as we aren't in the business of ticking off our readers. We aim for clarity in our headlines, but it's tough to reflect precisely the details of any given tool, as I'm sure you can appreciate. Regardless, thanks for chiming in and keeping us on our toes!
If the iphone app world isn't right for you, as it's not for me, manage everything via www.PING.FM. Great services and offers all the same features including apps for blackberry. I use it for all my business and clients.
@LSP yes MySocialMania will be released on multiple platforms. We just decided to begin with iPhone.
Thanks

Looks like an interesting app, but I worry that it is so focused on talking - to the nearly complete exclusion of listening.
If you use this to push status updates, blog posts, photos, and videos out to various networks, how will you manage/monitor responses? Questions?
Good tool for what it does but let's not forget connecting is more than just pushing your own content into the cloud . . .
Here's my favorite way to do this (Hootsuite has a mobile app, too - Android and iPod/iPad/iPhone):
