All three together
I currently use the Firefox Yoono add onwhich does the following….
•Little popup, bottom of my screen•Write one update and post to more
than one place •It can do more stuff but this is what I use
I also use the TinyURL generator plugin to quickly create shorten web links to post in twitter

All in good time
• It takes time for the magic to work
• networks grow organically and have a point of critical mass
• make it part of your daily to do list, using browser plugins help
• Use a mobile device to read and tweet
