Great post! I was trying to figure which to go with and it looks like I should just stick with Ping.fm for now.

Weird. I don't know why I didn't see that. I retract that sentence then.

Maybe I got confused on a similar post elsewhere.

Thanks for writing!
Actually, I did mention your API and custom URL in the 3rd paragraph of “Look Beyond Just Posting”. That is a good differentiator. But I wouldn't be suprised if HelloTxt does something similar soon.
I will keep checking both of you guys! Keep up the great work!

What I MEANT to say before:

Good post. A nice comparison of us social blasting services. Though, you did leave out our API and Custom URL posting capabilities. We focus a lot more on interfacing rather than supporting networks. And, we add networks based on user feedback, so what we have on our site was requested by our users. I think it's the best way to do it. But, as far as interfacing, we will continue to implement ways to get your pings out. SMS is next.

Thanks for the great post.
