Great news! You can now you can post your updates from CoTweet to Facebook, LinkedIn, Yammer and dozens of other social networks.

Ping.fm is now integrated with CoTweet so you can publish once through CoTweet and automatically send your updates across the real time web. You can set up a unique Ping.fm posting group or account with each of your Twitter accounts, so you have ultimate control over which updates go where — essential for people managing multiple business accounts or a combination of business and personal accounts.

Set up instructions are available in the CoTweet Support Forum, which you can access once you’re logged in. Enjoy!

Co-tweet has always seemed like a great idea to me for businesses that need to manage multiple twitter accounts with multiple users, but it still isn’t where it should be, and it certainly isn’t a solution yet. I think this trend of “simulcasting” your updates to multiple networks from one location is valuable, but there really hasn’t been a great business solution yet.

CoTweet does still have its limitations: it is currently in beta and only 6 profiles are allowed to be managed per account. This really won’t scale for the bigger guys, but I think many people, even smaller agencies, would be willing to pay for less restrictions.

This new Co-Tweet feature is further hindered by the inability to see the responses to an update sent out to a linked Facebook fan page, LinkedIn Profile, etc. It limits what should be a two way dialogue into a broadcast medium with no ability to track the conversation. This new feature does not save me time if I still have to go into the individual networks to check to see the response.

I’d love to see someone tackle the heart of the problem, but given the rate of evolution in the social media world, the next few months will be interesting.
