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!
