This week the tech blogs were buzzing with the news that Seesmic had acquired Ping.fm, a fantastic service that allows you to update 50 different social networks at once through e-mail, IM (my favorite), SMS or the web.

Last year Ping.fm was one of the startups that I invested in.

The acquisition means that

Seesmic users will also be able to update not only with the apps they are used to, but also with Ping.fm's email, sms and chat gateways.  Seesmic is now the only social software application available on that many screens and able to update all your favorite social networks. The Ping.fm acquisition enables Seesmic to deliver faster its vision of becoming your default application to stay in touch with your friends and constantly managing your online social presence.

 
That is huge. As an entrepreneur from Dubai put it,

I agree. And I'm not just saying that because I'm now an investor in Seesmic!

Congratulations to all involved - it's a great way to start 2010!
