Dropbox is a great service but it only backs up data in your Dropbox folder. Like me you probably have existing folders you’d like to backup without moving everything under your dropbox folder. Solution, symbolic links. SymbolicLinker is a cool plugin for creating symbolic links using Finder from the right click menu. Place the links in your Dropbox folder to backup the corresponding files and folders.

I just noticed over on Jerry Ong’s blog that Ping.FM has updated their service to support friendster, Yahoo 360, Delicious. Great to see more social networks added.
I’m still hoping for Skype status updates.

Earlier attempts at cross-posting to myspace blogs from wordpress worked initially but caused a few wordpress panics along the way that required turning off that plugin. I looked for another solution and came up with pingPressFM which makes use of the ping.fm API. At first I was concerned that this would update facebook and twitter status with blog posts but it is configurable to update via status, blogs & microblogs. I’ve got status turned off and blogging and microblogging enabled. Right now pingPressFM is updating blogs / microblogs on twitter, tumbler, pownce and myspace.
It does three updates in total. One status update (facebook, myspace), one micro blog update (twitter, jaiku), and one blog update (blogger, livejournal). You can easily configure each of the three ping types in your WordPress settings.
