You have heard from the experts of social media and Web 2.0 to establish your own blog and join social sites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Flickr, MySpace and YouTube; yet you wonder how to maintain these accounts and keep them dynamic. You don’t really need to panic; you just need to organize things.

With careful planning, you can simplify the process of keeping all your social media accounts fresh and in order. The following are some tips on how to have a streamlined social web presence:

• Optimize Your Blog Feed. The very first step in streamlining your social web presence is to burn your blog’s feed to Feedburner. Feedburner is a free service and getting hold of an account will help you to manage and track feed subscriptions easily.

• Feed Your Blog. In order to get the most mileage from your blog posts, feed your blog entries into all of your social media accounts that offer blog feeding options.

• Maximize the Use of Your Multimedia. You can maximize the exposure of your images and video clips by adding galleries and badges to your website or blog, and by feeding your images and videos into your social networking profiles and pages. You can integrate or feed your Flickr photos and YouTube videos to your blog, Facebook or MySpace accounts.

• Integrate Other Social Tools. Upcoming.org which is a social events calendar and GoodReads which is a niche book sharing and author site are also powerful social media sites. You can also integrate your accounts in these sites with MySpace and Facebook through applications that allow you to display books, book reviews, and events.

• Take Advantage of Streamlining Tools. Ping.fm is a powerful social tool that you can use to add short posts to your mini feeds on Facebook, Myspace, and other sites with status bars. You can share brief entries and status updates on Twitter and Jaiku and feed it to more of your social sites.

• Research and Repeat. The gist of the social web is to connect people through social platforms and applications; therefore, when deciding whether or not to invest time and resources into a new social tool, it is best to research the ways that tool will accommodate your existing social web presence. Repeat the steps above when you decide to integrate a new social tool or website.
