With the latest release of Sendible, Google Analytics users can see their website statistics from within their Sendible account and can keep track of how their email and social media campaigns are affecting overall traffic to their websites.

To link up your Google Analytics account to Sendible, simply do the following:

• Click on My Reports.

• After connecting, you’ll be returned to the My Reports tab – go back to Site Analytics and start monitoring your site stats.

Scheduled tweets should be used to compliment your regular tweeting activities and not replace them. Nice discussion from @DanAndJennifer.

We’re excited to announce a new Sendible feature – the ability to post interactive flash wall posts and greeting cards on Facebook.

You can choose one of our standard ecards or add your own branded one. It’s a fantastic way to make your message stand out on your contacts’ Facebook walls.

Here’s how to post an electronic greeting card to Facebook from Sendible:

1. Click on Add eCard.

2. You’ll see a dialog with a selection of eCards that can be selected.

3. Select the eCard you’d like to attach to your message and click the Attach button.

4. Select your Facebook contact by selecting Social Network Message and entering your contact’s name.

5. You can schedule your eCard to be sent at a specific time, or you can just send it immediately.

6. Your eCard appears on your friend’s wall as a Sendible eCard.

We’ve added support for link previews to Sendible - similar to how link previews work in Facebook.

You can now preview the images you want to post from within Sendible.

To do this, click on the URL link and you’ll see a button that says “Load images from URL”. You’ll be able to see the link preview (as you would in Facebook) and select the image to attach. This will ensure that you always have a link preview alongside your posts.

We’re excited to announce that we’ve added the ability to monitor what’s being said about your brand online. Now you can see exactly what’s being said about your brand on blogs, microblogs, social networks and in comments.

1. Read mentions from across the web

2. Monitor Daily Buzz about your brand

3. Keep of track of the users that are talking about your brand the most

We’re excited to announce Google Buzz support for Sendible. Now you can automate and schedule your Google buzzes!  http://bit.ly/cUGj2l

A popular feature request by Sendible users was the ability to add support for Facebook Groups. Facebook Groups were the easiest way to share items of common interest with your friends and were the Facebook standard before Fan Pages came along.

Sendible has supported Facebook Fan Pages for a while now, but a lot of users have not yet made the transition from Fan Pages to Groups, so we decided to include the feature.

The steps required to post to Facebook Groups from Sendible are really simple.

1. Visit Add/Edit Services and add settings for Facebook Groups.

2. Sendible will automatically connect to Facebook for you and pull in all the groups you belong to. Select a group, enter your details and save your settings.

3. Return to the Message Box and you’ll now see your Facebook Group listed in your services. Select the Facebook Group and you can now go ahead and post a mesasge or image to your group. You can also schedule your post to go off at a later date or time.

When it comes to updating all your social networks at once, Sendible makes it extremely easy! You can post updates to sites like Twitter, Facebook, Myspace and LinkedIn by logging into Sendible and typing a message – or you can reach these sites by sending a single email to Sendible.

Below are the 3 steps needed to set this up:

1. Click on My Groups and create a group to hold the social network accounts you’d like to post to.

2. Add the accounts you’d like to post to and make a note of the email address that you can use to reach your social networks in your group.

3. Send an email from your email client to the special email address provided and Sendible will post to all the accounts in the group.
