Hi there folks. Todays post is going to be a great tip in doing less work to get more results. Thats what we all want isnt it?
I read a while ago a decent post from the Linkvana Reviews guy, called Twitter Link Wheels. Without going into detail (you can read his post) it discusses using twitter as a hub for all your RSS feeds, the benefit being the syndication value of Twitter (correct me if I’m wrong Daniel
) .
Today I would like to discuss something similar using Identi.ca and a couple of other Web2 sites. This method will get a Super link wheel going on and all fully automated!
Unlike Daniels post suggesting to use twitterfeed to help syndicate ALL your rss feeds, I want to discuss syndicating the posts from One of your WordPress sites only using a free Plugin called WP-Statusnet, and using Identi to push those links to other properties.
So for your Identi Link Wheel here is what you will need
A wordpress blog that updates regularly
WP-Statusnet installed on this blog
An account on Identi.ca
An account on Twitter
An account on Delicious
An account on diigo
An account on Packrati
Once we are signed up to all those sites, we need to link them all up together. From within your Identi account you can link it to twitter and now all your identi posts will also get posted to twitter. Next thing you want to do is put your account details for Twitter, Delicious and Diigo into your Packrati admin panel.
What you have now done is setup a “Mini Web2 Linkwheel”, when you make a post on Identi it will get published on Twitter aswell, Heard by Packrati who will then republish the post as a bookmark onto Delicious and Diigo.
To get this rolling all you need to do now is install the WP-statusnet plugin into your wordpress site and load up your identi.ca details. So every time your site makes a new post you will get some juicy web2 syndication on complete autopilot!!
Try it out yourself and let me know how it goes, it’s really simple to setup and gives a nice boost to the posts you are syndicating.
Massive thanks goes out to The Internet for even being here and letting us do this stuff, and a special thanks to the creator of Link Velociraptor, who claims full ownership to all the secrets revolving around this method and deserves full credit for the ingenuity

1buck, mind skypeing me at ****** Skype ID? I’d like to go over some services and tools with you, or just email me thanks
Skype message sent with my email, thanks for stopping by
Are you talking about WP-status.net or WP-statusnet, is there a difference? I just want to make sure I am looking at the same plugin. Also do you need to have separate accounts on Identi.ca, Twitter, Delicious, diigo, and Packrati for each blog or can you use the same accounts for different blogs?
Thanks
hi there, thanks for stopping by my blog
WP_status.net/wp-statusnet is a plugin that can be found on this website…

Simply, it will automatically post an update to any statusnet enabled site you put your account details in for (like identi.ca).
