Blogging. The Learning Curve.

Well, it's been a few weeks now and I haven't upset anyone yet.

My Twitter account is ticking away nicely, but Twitter's growth is slowing. Facebook looks like it's the social network darling of the moment, and my page there is not doing well.
This is mainly due to the problems associated with maintaining and promoting a blog, maintaining the microblogging platform that is Twitter, and trying to attract "Likes" on Facebook.

My personal preference has always been for Facebook until recently (too many baby photos and generally uninteresting news posts).
Twitter, on the other hand, I have largely ignored as it's not for me personally. However, as a platform to promote my website and blog, it's perfect.
Don't get me wrong, I still like Facebook, it's just that maybe I'm of a certain age where I don't need to see my friends' posts or organise my social life through it any more.

Facebook is still king of the social networks, and I can't see that crown falling any time soon.

So, how to post to Facebook without having to write on this blog and rewrite the same article for Facebook?
For this very post, I am typing away in Blogger, and have (hopefully) created a "recipe" using If This, Then That (IFTTT.com), which should post a link to my Facebook page Mobile Networks UK.

I hope this works, as I do need to have an active presence on Facebook!
