I’m always looking for ways to improve my “Social Professional” online presence; and I’m going to be adding snipt.org to my toolkit.

Day to day I run a business and project manage RIA projects, but at heart, I’m a programmer. I keep a libraries of reusable code and a bunch of snippets; some of those snippets I use regularly and others are as close to genius as I’m going to get, so I keep them.

Other than my programming team at Enpresiv, my libraries and snippets largely remain private. Until now!
I’ve found a fantastic website that can manage my snippets and improve my online presence by automatically adding to my output streams on Twitter and my blog at WordPress.

snipt.org is kind of like delicious, only its for code snippets; and you can share your snippets in the ‘social collective’. It saves each of my snippets with their own URL, and sends that URL to my Twitter account as I create new ones.

You can also download Cloud Coder, a nifty little Adobe AIR application that integrates directly with the snipt.org API. Now all I need is direct TextMate integration like snipt.orgs competition Snipplr has.

I just signed up to twitterfeed.com to alert all of my twitter friends, about any blog posts I make.

Not quite sure how it is going to work yet, but the process seemed simple enough. I guess this will be the first blog post that automatically reaches Twitter!
