You can go to Ping.fm and set up a free account. From there, you post directly to Ping.fm and have networks! I post to 16 sites at once.
If you want to schedule your posting to Ping.fm, sign up with SocialOomph, there you can set up a series of posts and schedule them for the future and much much more. You can then have your Tweets post to Ping.fm when you like and anyplace else that they service. You can use their free version or sign up for the Pro which you can try for free for a week.
You can sign up for SocialOomph at no cost and set it up to have a direct message (DM) sent to each new person that follows you. This is good. Be sure your message ask about them, benefits them, not all about you. If you sign up with them, I suggest you also sign up with them as an affiliate, still no cost. This way if someone you refer does become a paying professional, you make money monthly.
If you want to promote, I suggest you expand your area as not everyone is part of any one of the sites.
Each have a different public to some degree.
I share this data with you freely because more communications around the world is what's needed and wanted. Man will survive better with more communications!
