Seesmic Has Acquired Ping.fm. Get Ready For Update Overload

Thanks to Seesmic’s recent acquisition of multi-social network updating service, Ping.fm, we’re all now in for an exponentially increased onslaught of “I just made a ham and cheese sandwich” updates.

There are those who love Ping for its simplicity. And there are those who hate it and its ilk for trying to cram the same update down the throat of multiple services which, because they aren’t all the same by design, often call for individualized, network-specific updates.

We love it because we’re lazy but just wait until brands catch on to this. It will be like broadcast media all over again. Sometimes we never learn.
