Ping.fm: Post to Twitter, Jaiku, Facebook, Tumblr and Pownce
First of all, you can post updates via email. When you sign up for a Ping.fm account you'll be assigned an email address. Just send a message to that address and the message will show up on all of your linked accounts. You can also enable an IM update option. Right now you need to have an AOL Instant Messenger account to use the IM posting option. But you don't have to use the official AIM client.

Ping.fm is still in private beta, but we've got 100 invites to giveaway. Just enter the code dls on the signup page.

We never said you needed to leave a comment to receive an invitation. All you had to do was enter the code on the signup page.

Yes, I am aware of that; it's just disappointing that they went so quick with hardly anyone even commenting.

Ping.fm is the stuff. I think they're way ahead of the curve for sure. These guys pretty much trump all of the others simply by the number of sites they hook in to.
