Thank you Lani!! This was exactly what I was looking for. I vow to never spend an afternoon looking for the information myself, I’ll go right to the expert! You make what seems impossible very doable. Thank you!

Hey Dale,

TweetDeck integrates with Facebook but not LinkedIn, and you have to set it up in TweetDeck to do so. Click the wrench button on the top right of your TweetDeck (“settings”) and on the left hand column in the pop up, select “accounts” and add your Facebook account. Then, simply write an update and make sure your Facebook button is selected and press enter. Your status on Twitter and Facebook will be simultaneously updated, voila!

Does this help?

Can I use TweetDeck to syndicate to Facebook and Linked–In? I’ll post something on TweetDeck and it shows up on Twitter, but I can’t see the post on my Facebook account or my Linked–In account. Or, do I have to use Twitter (first) to syndicate to Facebook, Linked–In, and TweetDeck?

Great question, John. I personally advocate minimizing syndication and choosing one or two ways to syndicate, as well as adding badges to a blog sidebar. For example, I mostly just syndicate my blog to all of my networks, but I don’t syndicate the networks to each other because I do share contacts on all of the major sites.

I would also remind readers that we’ve talked before about having a single landing spot for all of your networks that feature all of your efforts in one spot, be that a page on your own site or something like http://card.ly.

Thanks for coming by, John!

I have about 5 people I am linked to on multiple platforms for whom I see the same content two or three times. I find myself hiding them on one or more, based on where I want the primary contact to be.

As an individual rather than a business, I choose NOT to propagate content, but instead segment the audiences – cross posting where appropriate only. Do you advocate this mainly for those who link to each real person using only one tool?
