Here's a new way to automatically send your Google+ posts to Twitter and (ugh) facebook.


Here's a new way to automatically send your Google+ posts to Twitter and (ugh) facebook.

I'm on the Mike Elgan diet meaning that almost all of my content is done here on Google+. Then I pipe it automatically to Twitter and facebook.

Linda Lawrey told me about ManageFlitter which is good and it is what most people use. But I think I found something better: Friends+Me.

Up until now I would use ManageFlitter to grab my Google+ posts and send them to Twitter and then facebook's Twitter app would grab them from there. But as you see in the pic below, that ain't pretty.

Now Friends+Me sends my posts to both places and formats them very nicely. The posts on facebook look like they were originated there.

Here is why I recommend you give Friends+Me a try:

•  The posts on facebook look MUCH better
•  Friends+Me checks your feed and posts every 5 minutes. ManageFlitter refreshes every 30 minutes unless you pay. That's a big deal when I am covering breaking news or encouraging people to check out a live stream, etc. (Friends+Me plans to have a paid tier in the future which will offer 1 minute refreshes. I'd happily pay for that.)
•  It can post to your timeline and facebook pages
•  It supports Twitter Cards http://goo.gl/CVx3Z

Thanks to Friends+me's developer Alois Bělaška for urging me to check it out. I have officially made the switch!

    I'm having a heck of a time getting my account linked.

    My G+ profile URL is https://plus.google.com/u/0/100159944728066264696/posts

    ...but when I try to register 100159944728066264696 in my Friends+Me dashboard, I get:

    Provided ID "100159944728066264696" is not associated with Google+ Page!

    Halp?

    Thanks much in advance!

    Jason Desjardins your personal Google+ account with id 100159944728066264696 is already registered. If you want to register your Google+ Page, you should use different ID.

    Can't find anything on their site that says what it will cost after the Free Trial or how long the trial lasts.

    Currently am checking it out. Wondering how to repost to Facebook Pages. Is that possible, or is just your Named Facebook Account?

    I also need to be able to post Google+ pages to FB pages.  Is there a forums where you have all of this answered?

    Doug Jacobs II not yet, but I think registering Google+ Pages is quite straightforward. All you have to do is go to http://www.friendsplus.me/pages and follow the instructions. Connecting registered Google+ Page with Facebook Page is almost the same thing as connection Facebook to you personal Google+ account.

Warning: Sharing That Image Could Get You Banned or Blacklisted

Warning: Sharing That Image Could Get You Banned or Blacklisted Most people have no idea that the way in which they are sharing images on #SocialMedia  or on their blogs could actually get them banned, blacklisted, or worse! In this next part of my Sharing Images Online series I take on the heavy task of explaining the legal side of sharing images in a simple way that everyone can understand.  Read the full post here:  http://dustn.tv/sharing-images-responsibly/ It basically boils down to this - you either have explicit written consent to use an image, or you don't. And if you use someone's copyrighted image because you just so happened to find it online you risk having your social media account deleted/banned or your website blacklisted! Let's all make the internet a better place for creators and curators alike and stop sharing images recklessly, and stop supporting those who knowingly (or unknowingly) do as well .  In the full post I tried to keep it as dead simple as
