Any good way for RSS Feed -> Facebook?

5 replies
Hey everyone,

I need a little help here in finding a good way to post my blog's RSS Feed to my Facebook wall & friends' news feeds. I know there are certain applications/services out there, but I haven't found one that meets my criteria.

Basically I'm looking for something that:
- Posts to my Facebook wall pretty quickly.
- Shares a "link", with a picture. (to clarify what I mean by this, if you go to facebook and copy & paste google's website address into your status, you'll see a link window appear with the title, a small description, and a thumbnail)
- Your link doesn't advertise for something else.

The closest thing I've been able to find that meets my criteria is the NetworkedBlogs application... although the huge downside is that it requires hundreds of followers for your blog for it to pull from your feed quickly (since none of my friends use it, it only refreshes every 12 hours!), and when a person clicks on your link, the browsers address bar reads as networkedblogs' address, rather than changing to your own website's address.


Thanks!

    You can accomplish this using the Notes Section.

    In Notes...you can add your feed. Every time you publish on your
    blog it will post as a note and the snipped version will post on your wall.

    This feed will publish all of your photos / links you have in your blog post


    Hope this helps.

    ps....you can also Google Search ' Publishing RSS Feed on Facebook" (something like that) and find some great tutorials I am sure

    On your Facebook profile, you'll see the input box at the top with "What's on your mind?" inside. Below the SHARE button on the bottom right is an "Options" link. When you click on it, you'll see a "Settings" link. When you click on that, it opens up several options, one of which is "Stories Posted By You", and "Imported Stories" at the top.

    Inside this section, you will see several icons, one of which is Blog/RSS. When you click on this, it opens an input URL. Enter your blog feed URL inside and click on Import. From now on, all your blog posts will automatically post to your Facebook profile. Have yourself a Merry Christmas, and happy blogging my friend

    Thanks a lot for the quick responses... I'll go give those methods a try!

    EDIT: I tried those methods out, and just to clarify, I'm looking for something that would direct people towards the blog post on my own website, rather than my Facebook note.

    This is pretty much the same thing as going to the "What's on your mind box?", clicking the "Link" function, and then attaching the URL of the blog post... except I'm just looking for some way to automate this in a similar way. NetworkedBlogs was able to accomplish this as a facebook application, but it had its downsides.
