Possible Tools to implement At-Large Social Media Strategy

 

IFTTT

IFTTT (pronounced like “Lift” without the “L.”) allows you to create "recipes" that has "triggers" to carry out "actions" among various services or "channels".

See http://ifttt.com/wtf

(Update : October 2012 - using IFTTT was more successful with posts from the At-Large wiki appearing on Facebook and Twitter. For the time, this would be the tool to implement the At-Large Social Media Strategy)

 

DLVR.it

DLVR.it (deliver.it) allows RSS feeds to to be cross posted to various social media websites. A paid version allows autoposting to Google+ pages.

Posterous Spaces

Posterous Spaces (https://posterous.com/ ) is a web service that offers the ability to create "spaces" to share text, links, photos or videos with everyone (similiar to a public blog) or to select persons. It offers the ability to update such "spaces" directly via email and have such content autoposted to several web blog sites (eg. WordPress, Drupal, Blogger) and Social Media sites like Facebook and Twitter. So with one email, content can be sent to Posterous, Twitter, Facebook and to the At-Large Website (which runs Drupal).

Posterous was recently acquired by Twitter and it is not clear what Twitter will do with Posterous Spaces service.

(Update : October 2012 - After extensive testing, Posterous did NOT work properly with posts appearing garbled on Posterous and then only after several hours. Use of this tool is not recommended.)

(Update: In mid February 2013 - Posterous announced it was shutting down completely late April 2013)
