Posting once, and having it show up everywhere.
July 5, 2013 9:07 PM Subscribe
I'm wondering if there is a browser plugin or other tool that will let me post once in either blogger or twitter, and have my post automatically propagate to my Facebook and Google Plus accounts. It doesn't matter where I put the initial post, as long as it's not Facebook.
Ping.fm used to do this but it morphed into something horrible and useless. I work on a Macbook, and can use any browser except for Internet Exploder.

Hootsuite does this. Free for up to 5 social media platforms for 1 member with unlimited apps. You can also pay for extras and analytics reports.
Here is their basic social media info. Then you can add Blogger (for free) as an additional app (Note I only have linked up Google+, Facebook, and Twitter pages though, and have not used this with blogger. It's free so you can't lose out by trying it.)

I use HootSuite to do exactly what you want to do.

I use Hootsuite, too! It can post to multiple accounts of the same type (ex: multiple Twitter accounts) and has a browser plug-in. You can also schedule posts if you like.

Response by poster: Thank you for these responses. I had an account on Hootsuite or its precursor a long time ago, and now because of that legacy account I can't log in and I can't get anything to work. I'll check out IFTT--less "ugrade" nagging.

Response by poster: "upgrade nagging."
A cursory examination of IFTT reveals that there are a number of recipes for posting on blogger and having the results show up on Twitter and Facebook, but in the case of Facebook the posts will only go to a designated page that you've created, not your normal status updates. There may be something better. When I come up with a working solution I'll post the details in this thread for future google-ability.
