For years I’ve been trying to find the perfect way to do a link blog. I come across so much good stuff on a daily basis that I want to share with our readers. Much of it wouldn’t need to be it’s own blog post, plus I wouldn’t have the time to write posts on all of them anyway.
My current solution is to Tumblr our link blog:
http://links.laughingsquid.com
The links from the link blog then show up on the right-hand sidebar of this blog via an RSS widget.
The shared links are also cross posted to FriendFeed.
All of our links, both from this main blog and our link blog are posted to our @laughing_squid Twitter account.
So that’s how I currently have it set up, of course this could all change again in a couple of months as I refine the process.

So are you trying to have a one stop shop that you can add a link, post, etc. and have it update all your accounts, including your blog?
Yeah, that’s pretty much what it does.
I’ve also heard good things about http://www.ping.fm Which updates pretty much any site you have listed. But, not sure if it will pull into Facebook the right way.
I like the link blog portion you have here though. I always enjoy a good journey through the net.
Adding the Twitter app to Facebook will pull your non-@ tweets as a facebook status message. Depending on how exactly you wanted them presented, that may work.

Yeah, I’ve been doing that from the beginning. I’m just trying to find a good way to bring the links into FB with proper formatting.
