I’m annoyed.
I am a Type “A” personality. I like simplicity and efficiency. I don’t see the point in having 8 steps between points “A” and “B”. If I could pay my bills from Facebook (one login), I would. I think I should be able to manage access to my health records within the privacy settings of my social network. One place, lots of resources.
Likewise, I don’t see the point in having to log into multiple social media sites to update my status or those of my business(es).
Ping.fm, PLEASE add delay/scheduled posts to your features. As it stands now, I have to log into HootSuite to schedule a post. From HootSuite it goes to Ping.fm, and finally distributed to an array of social and business networking sites. This is too many steps.
I want to log into ONE place to make it all work. Ping.fm, get your act together and set up scheduled posts. Your long-term success depends on it.

Well put. I’ve looked all over the web for a work around to this problem and haven’t found anything.
The one thing I have found is you can schedule a post in HootSuite-to-Ping.fm-to-everywhere, but you can only do this for one Hootsuite profile, meaning you would still have to do it manually for all your other profiles. Hootsuite says they plan to add new features that allow you to key different profiles to multiple Ping.FM accounts:

Hopefully it happens soon. But even then, Ping only allows you to update one facebook page per account etc, so I guess it’s still an imperfect work around. Until Ping allows more than one profile per account, I’m going to have to set up multiple ping accounts for my various clients and internet identities.
