Too long silent: More attention to social media

silenceSorry, everybody, I’ve been silent a little too long these last couple of weeks. It has nothing to with you, I assure you.

I took a short holiday at the beginning of August. I had too many things to do to get ready to leave and then a bunch more to do when I got home again.But now I’m back and I have a couple of great articles that will be ready within the next day or two.

As you may (or may not) be aware, I also write and edit the Web Developer’s Blog, and I have some more articles over there to get posted over the next few days. But my web development work is what will be keeping me busy over the next few days.

I’m reviewing my social media strategy to apply it more consistently and appropriately across multiple networks. I need to keep my personal Facebook updates separate from my professional Facebook updates, but have my professional updates consistent with updates on my professional website (which I ignore all too often). As well, I’d like my regular microblogging to appear on Twitter and my personal Facebook page.

From the research I’ve done into numerous social media feed publishers (e.g., Tweetlater.com, Twitterfeed.com, Ping.fm), I think I’ll end up building my own scripts to post my updates through the mutiple channels. I hope it works out. Any suggestions?
