Blogging is not an easy a job as it seems. First, we have to find something to write about, research on it, find related links, then type it, format it, publish it, tweet about it or update your facebook status! Or if you have multiple blogs, you can multiply the number of blogs with all these tasks ( and even more in some cases). And it’s not hard to forget any of the post-blogging tasks.

This is where betaworks steps up to the challenge with switchAbit.

SwitchAbit is a utility that allows users to control their content routing across multiple services, permitting control on a post-by-post basis (re: where content should go). Like the Cc: function in email, users send a message once, and have it appear on multiple services.

After setting up a “switch”, switchAbit automatically re-routes messages to the selected destinations. You create content where you want it — swithAbit re-routes it as needed, in the background. You can also setup switch tags letting you activate a switch on a post by post basis for details see controlling your switch.

It basically uses API’s of the services to send your messages across them. It can access:

• Wordpress

• Blogger

• Facebook

• Twitter

• flickr

• jaiku

• Tumblr

We can create ‘switches’, which include a source and destinations. So that let’s say, you create a switch between Twitter and Wordpress, it will tweet about our latest blog entries on Twitter automatically. It does so with shortening your URL too, which is the way people tweet about posts on Twitter about their blogs. And in case, Twitter is down ( We wouldn’t be surprised! ) switchAbit will queue your update and submit it later.

With switchAbit, you can relax about your Blog’s publicity somewhat, as a few switches will automate all that for you and let you concentrate more on what you should. An excellent concept put into use by switchAbit, and we would love to see this service grow exponentially. We’ll keep you covered with more updates about this service, meanwhile it’s really recommended for all bloggers out there.
