Tumblr For Dummies Portable Edition

HelloTxt

There’s no denying that social media accounts are hot right now. Chances are you currently have at least one other social media account besides your Tumblr blog. In fact, most people will already have accounts with Facebook and Twitter before signing up for Tumblr, and then quickly branch out to more social media sites like Pinterest, LinkedIn, Dribble, Google Plus, WordPress, Flickr, Instagram, Last.fm, and a handful of others.

With all those accounts, one of the big questions on everyone’s minds is, “How can I manage all my posts across all my accounts so that if I update one, the rest will update automatically?” The answer: HelloTxt.

HelloTxt is one of several new status-manager services; it helps you update your status across all your social networks and microblogs from the privacy of your own computer, tablet, e-mail, or mobile phone (see Figure 10-1). To sign up, visit www.hellotxt.com and follow the onscreen instructions to create your account and start synchronizing your posts.
