Today I thought I’d tell you a little about a tool I’ve been using called Auto Social Poster, I’ve mentioned it before but never gone into much detail.  

 In a nutshell what Auto Social Poster (ASP) is a handy tool for automatically posting your wordpress posts to Social Bookmarking sites.   Note that I said your Wordpress posts, ASP is a plugin for Wordpress so only works if you are using Wordpress to run your blog. 

Once you have installed the plugin you can add multiple accounts at each of the many built-in social bookmarking sites.  The plugin comes pre-configured for most social bookmarking sites and the support is very good with regular updates when new sites appear or old ones change their login requirements.   Being able to add multiple logins is particularly handy.

You an configure the plugin to bookmark to all your accounts or to a random number of sites so your bookmarks are different across the various sites you bookmark at.   You can also set it up to add random tags, which allows you to almost completely automate your blog (if you are using an auto content posting sytem that is).

 Finally, the plugin will, if you tell it, send you an email status report after it finishes posting showing which bookmarking sites it posted to and the result.

Auto Social Poster is an excellent plugin if you are running a Wordpress blog and want to promote your articles through the many Social Bookmarking Sites. 

It definitely gets the Idiot’s thumbs up!
