Blogging Via Facebook
Alright, so. Facebook has a new blogging feature they call “notes”. It’s not as intricate as some of the other blogging services out there, but it’s a neat idea. My favorite part is that you can import feeds. Feeds are links to your blog that import the articles from them. This means that, by importing my rss feed (http://lucasj.net/blog/?feed=rss2) through my Facebook account, everything I write on my website’s blog shows up on Facebook. Then, I can of course also go back into edit them via Facebook and tag my friends. Nifty huh? I thought so. But 90% of my friends with blogs use other services. If you know how to find your rss url, that’s great. For those of you using MySpace, it’s incrediably easy. Here’s what you do.
1) Login to your MySpace.
2) Click “View My: Blog”
3) Copy the shortcut/url that “rss” leads to. You can see the “rss” link at the top of your blog, below the header, on the right side. It will look something like “http://blog.myspace.com/blog/rss.cfm?friendID=YOURPROFILEIDT”
Like I said. Nifty, huh? You can also do this with flickr feeds.
