This was one of the tools considered during the At-Large Improvements calls to allow content to be reposted to other social networks (Twitter, Facebook). I believe it was Gordon at the ICANN San Francisco meeting who sounded a cautionary note regarding relying on third party services that could disappear in the future. It was tested for the At-Large Social Media Strategy in time before the Toronto meeting and was found to be largely so slow as to be nonfunctional.

Well, haven't tried it, but heard about http://dlvr.it/ in January 2013. Dlvr.it allows syndicating of RSS feeds to Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and Google+ It works like IFTTT (https://ifttt.com/) to create "recipes" or "routes" as Dlvr.it calls it, but Dlvr.it is focused on republishing RSS feeds from your blog or other content management systems.
