Becoming social on the internet

Posted by lopeza on April 23, 2008

Along with this blog I thought it would be important to use many of the hottest social networking things.  I set up a twitter, facebook, flickr, and linkedin account.  I figured out how to twitter from the linux commandline.

Install curl and run this command in a script curl –basic –user “username:password” –data-ascii “status=`echo $@|tr ‘ ‘ ‘+’`” “http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml”

Then I setup the email to upload photos to flickr and this blog from my mobile phone.

After playing a bit with all these I noticed that there are best practices and “etiquette” in using these things, so become familiar or else no one will see you!
