A Social Media Experiment

This morning I was thinking about Richard Karstom’s inception facebook page cover. I was wondering with my new additions to my social media toolbelt if I could make a tunnel of social media. The theory needs more work. I couldn’t keep it going. There are some algorithms in the way, I think. I pinned my last blog post. I tweeted that pin. I facebooked that tweet. Then I took a screen shot of my facebook entry and then blogged that. Then pinned that. Then tweeted that. then facebooked that. I tried doing the process a third time and I couldn’t get my tweet to facebook. Maybe, I’ll try again tomorrow. If facebook had an syndication option to update my wordpress blog, this could get very messy.

 

(Update: Some people have told me to use IFFFT to create my social media loop. I have looked into using their services. It is kind of a rip off– in a sense. They brand your communications when they deliver them instead of twitter/pinterest/whatever. I think it takes away some credit to the companies that are storing your information.)
