"If you cut your hair a bit each time you hurt a man, you would be a bold killer." That's the best comment on my new haircut so far!

If you have seen this picture 10 times today, I bet this is getting
obnoxious, and I apologize. Optimistically thinking, it means you and
I are connected on many social networks, and it is good! ... or bad,
if we hate each other.

Luckily, I found a way to post once and for all of the networks that I
often go to (Facebook, MSN space, Blogger and Buzz). I hope in that
way, you don't have to see the same picture/entry one by one or/and
again and again, and think that I love myself to death, and eventually
block me...

(Call me...)

If you have the same problem as I do in syncing your status on the
four social networks, here is a solution.

For MSN space and Blogger, they both allow you to choose an email
address to update. You should be able to find the function under
"profile setting" or something like that once you sign in to your blog
accounts. Once you get your own blog email address, something like
fangfang@spaces.live.com and fangfang@blogger.com, you can update your
blogs by sending emails to the addresses, just as how you usually
write to your friends. The subject part of the email will be the Title
of your blog entry, the body of the email will be the content of the
entry, and the attached pictures will just show up in the entry as
they are.

As for Buzz, if you set it up as connected with your Blogger, it will
automatically update with your Blogger, since they are both Google
service. You might have already noticed how your Buzz is synced with
your Google Talk status, and yea, it works the same with Blogger
updates.

Now Facebook, the idea is the same that you will email to an address
hooked up with Facebook. Here is one of the ways to get the ASSIGNED
email address: trying to post a pictures on your wall by clicking
"attach photos", and then "selecting photos from computer", then you
will see an option of "posting via email". Click on that, it will take
you on the track of getting the address. Eventually, the address will
be something like navel12345@m.facebook.com. You should be aware that
the body of the email won't show up. The subject will be your Facebook
status, and the attached picture will be your new wall photos.

Next time you want to post something on the 4 sites, log on to your
email, and writing to the 3 email addresses (fangfang@spaces.live.com,
fangfang@blogger.com, navel12345@m.facebook.com, in my hypothetical
case), and you will be... obnoxious as I am.

Another advantage about this is you can still update your
blog/facebook even if they are blocked by your/our government. I've
tested it when I was in Beijing this summer

That is about it. If you have better solutions, or any
questions/comments, well, it's hard to avoid me, isn't it?
