{Facebook} + {Eventbrite} = Publish Your Event on Facebook

[pic via here::special thanx]

Eventbrite is a wonderful online event site that allows event planners to, among other things, create, schedule and publish their planned events at a cost that leaves a (giant) smile on their faces.  There are lots of other valuable tasks that this service offers, one of which is, the ability to publish your events directly from the Eventbrite site onto your Facebook Fan page.  No cutting/pasting needed!  You have, in the past, been able to publish your Eventbrite events to your Facebook wall...which means that eventually your event information will scroll right off of the page. 

Do you have an upcoming event that you want to let your Facebook community know about?  Create, schedule and publish it on Facebook, with a few (very few) points and clicks of your mouse.  What? You're familiar with this affordable service?  Check it out.  I love it!

What social media communities do you use to publicize your events?  Have your efforts on this/these site(s) been successful?  Are you already using Eventbrite to create, schedule and publish your events?

Pingdom on Facebook

[like it]

Pingdom's describes itself as "Pingdom is a website monitoring service. In short, we monitor sites and servers on the Internet, alerting the site owners if we detect a problem".  The best of all the service is FREE, and we like FREE!  The sign up is effortless.  Account upgrades can be had for smaller fees. 

Link Sharing

I follow quite an amazingly well-educated, well-rounded, intelligent group of social media gurus.  These experts have their finger on the pulse of the latest trends, issues, best practices and resources that make their way down the social media pike.  And, although many of them have made the topic of social media their 'way of life', they never hesistate to pass on many of their pearls of wisdom.  Such is the case of Colin Welch over at Silicon Beach Training.  He has made available a pretty comprehensive link list of  "social media tips, guides, plugins, platforms, analytics, tools, apps and other great resources.  This list was original meant only for attendees of his Social Network Training and SEO Training course.  But by his own admission, "... but it would be mean of us not to make it available to everyone. Enjoy…"

And without further ado... THE LIST .... thanks, Colin
