Every blog worth its weight needs a Facebook page!

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Thingy-Ma-Jig...../22760952880

Lets see how many fans I get! This is also a test in a way. I wanna see if Facebook could provice any kind of useful traffic.

Now the question is - how can my website "talk back" to facebook? How can I get it to automatically post these fantastic blog entries I write to the page? Has someone written an API module? Surely they must have!

Link not working

by shawnpetriw (not verified)

Hello, I also have a Facebook "Fan" site:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/thepulseca-Pulse-Digital-Promotion/8761973162

It looks like you're missing the id at the end of the url - so page not found.

Works with RSS

by Boris Mann (not verified)

You don't need to do anything special. Any page (or personal profile) can suck in RSS feeds and convert them to Facebook Notes. My personal profile sucks in my personal site, http://bmannconsulting.com

I'm also running facebook_auth on my site, but that turns your site into an App, not a page.

Boris, When you say:

Do you mean that there is functionality to do this by default or do you need to use an App? I've configured by page to use this app...

You can use Facebook's native Notes application to subscribe to one RSS feed and have it appear in your Mini-Feed. Click on "Notes" under Applications, then click the "Import a blog" link on the right-hand side of the Notes page. Enter the URL of your blog's RSS feed and it starts importing posts.

FYI, the first time it imported posts from my blog, it grabbed the ten most recent, then about an hour later it did it again. I just went in and deleted the duplicates, since then it's run flawlessly.
