Almost all social network managers gripe about the fact that sharing Content on multiple social networks is tedious. Then, there’s the issue of storing this data securely. There is help at hand for community managers. Postcard is a recently launched iOS app that helps you simultaneously share Content on multiple social sites.
The highlight of Postcard is the “Custom Network” feature which enables you to post Content on your own Website. You can use your Site to host the Content & get traffic from the social networks where you shared the Content.
Postcard also offers a WordPress plugin that helps you link the app to your WP blog. This is how you will be able to host Content shared through PostCard on your blog or Website. The Content posted on your blog is does not have character restrictions like in some social networks.
The WordPress plugin offers features like shortcodes that enable easy display of the gallery, feed or archive of your Content. This plugin is offered free of cost on WordPress.org. You can use the app & the plugin to build an archive of the data shared on social networks.
Postcard is a creation of designer Kyle Newsome who says he was motivated to build the app to help users solve Content control & ownership issues prevalent in social media. Users can utilize Postcard to keep their blog fresh & updated. You can update your social networks & direct the ensuing traffic to your Website. Kyle is currently developing an Android version of the app.
Postcard claims it does not store any Content or create social networks. All the data is stored on your phone. Custom Network only directs Content to your blog where you can store & own it.
In short, Postcard helps Content creators to host Content on their website, share it on social networks & direct the resulting traffic to their site. Thus they are assured of ownership of the Content which they can archive on their site to be presented & sorted in a convenient manner.
The free download supports 3 networks, & you can buy 2 more for $0.99, 5 more for $2.99 & unlimited networks for $4.99 via in-app purchases.
