9/17/08 Just an update to this post. Ping.Fm is now out of beta so anyone can go sign-up and get it. For all my fellow T-mobile users, I also learned that you can actually update your status from your T-mobile phone using SMS-to-email. I learned the details of how to do this here.

I just got my application key for the beta application Ping.Fm, and I have to say that I am very impressed with this application.  I stumbled across it while on Facebook.  I have been looking for a way to get my Twitter updates to populate to Facebook.  If you've tried any of the Twitter apps on Facebook, you know that they are buggy or don't work at all.  Then, I noticed an acquaintance of mine, Jeff Blankenburg, was using this thing called Ping.Fm.  Jeff is a developer evangelist for Microsoft, so I figure he's got the inside on the cool stuff which made me curious about this Ping.Fm thing.  More...

About the author

I am a junior-level C# .NET developer living in Nashville, TN.  I'm currently working in biomedical informatics, developing a web service, a MySql database, and a web application.  Every week or so, I spend hours trying to figure out how to do something, and after I find the solution, I really want to make sure I don't go through that exercise again.  I love to write.  It helps me to remember things.  So, I use this blog as a way to document those painful lessons as I learn them.  It has already helped me to be able to refer back to them.  I hope some of these will save someone else some time as well.
