Now that Ping.fm supports RSS feeds powered by Superfeedr things are getting a lot closer, blog updates will automatically flow smoothly through to all your connected social networks with the greatest of ease. Go to the Ping.fm Superfeedr setup page and check it out.
And just like that, as you can see from my Apache logs, through the use of RSSCloud, Dave Winer‘s real-time addition to RSS…

My blog is even more interconnected into the cloud.
BTW, It’s time to turn off the FriendFeed to Twitter publishing function for my author feed, which has been doing this job for me for so long, albeit not in real-time until now.
I have about 15 other feeds funneling through FriendFeed into Twitter, so I can’t wait until Ping.fm supports more than one RSS feed.
P.S. This post itself was a test post to see the real-time action.
P.P.S. It Broke.

Looks like the RSSCloud plugin for WordPress.org blogs isn’t happy. Hopefully the RSSCloud support gets worked into the WordPress.org Code Base.
