New Tool: Quick Publisher
Posted by Ninua, Inc. | Filed under features
One of the feature requests we hear a lot is a way to include a custom message with each post before publishing it to Facebook or Twitter. Custom messages require a little extra effort to write, but they add a personal touch and improve engagement, and hence distribution, of your blog. So today I'm happy to announce our latest publishing tool, Quick Publisher.
You can access Quick Publisher from the top menu on networkedblogs.com. You select the post you want to publish and the Facebook and Twitter targets you want to publish to; and you can also add a custom message if you like. You hit "Publish" and you're done.
You can also open Quick Publisher by going to your blog profile and then click on the "syndication" link under each individual post. In that case, the post will be pre-selected for you and you can publish it right away. This will eventually replace the manual syndication option we have right now.
Also, in the dialog window, if your latest post has not been pulled to NetworkedBlogs yet, you can click the "refresh" button and it will do an immediate fetch of all the feeds of your blogs to check if there are new posts in any of them. It's equivalent to hitting the "pull now" button on all your blogs at once. Nice, right?
One thing to keep in mind, though, is that the Quick Publisher operates separately from the automatic syndication feature. In other words, if you have set up your blog to publish automatically, and then you publish a post manually using Quick Publisher, you'll end up with duplicate posts. Quick Publisher is good for blogs that are not set up to publish automatically, or in case automatic publishing fails.
And, one more feature: you can use Quick Publisher for status updates as well, not only to share your blog posts. So if you have several Facebook pages and Twitter accounts that you want to update at the same time, this is the perfect tool for it. I hope you enjoy using it, and we'd love to hear your thoughts on how to make it better.
