Does your company maintain a blog? Does your company maintain a page on Facebook? If you answered ‘yes’ to both these questions — and there are some pretty compelling reasons why you should — a third query naturally follows: Have you joined these two highly complimentary properties together so that updated content from your blog automatically to your Facebook page? This article provides a concise set of instructions on how to add your blog’s (or any other site supporting RSS — Really Simple Syndication) feed to your Facebook page using the “Notes” application. This process described works equally well for both personal and company Facebook pages and discusses one common — though not the only — method for distributing a blog’s RSS feed on Facebook. It is assumed that the reader has a basic familiarity with the concept of RSS feeds.
Originally intended solely for college students but now open to individuals and companies, Facebook is a network made up of individual ‘pages’. Each page can have various optional applications (small programs written by third party developers) installed at the discretion of the page owner. Applications range in usefulness from the ‘completely frivolous’ to the ‘must have’ and serve to extend the functionality of the core Facebook platform. The “Notes” application can function both as a tool to publish short text articles (i.e., ‘notes’ — event promotion, press releases, job postings, product announcements, for example) but can also serve as a RSS import tool to take content from any selected outside source (blog, Twitter stream, Flickr account, YouTube channel, etc.) that can distribute updates via RSS.
Steps in the process:
1. Create a company Facebook page, or if the page already exists, make sure you are listed as a page administrator and authorized to make changes.
2. Search for “Notes” in the Facebook search box. After finding the application, add ‘Notes’ as an additional tab alongside the page’s wall, info, photos, boxes tabs.
3. In the notes settings click ‘edit import setting’ and add your blog’s RSS feed. The notes application only supports the importing of one RSS feed, so it is not possible to add RSS feeds from both a blog and a twitter stream, for example.
4. Finally, check the box to agree to the Notes application’s terms and conditions.
That’s it — now updates to your blog will automatically show up on your Facebook page, and also in the newsfeed of your page’s fans. This technique is an easy way to help maximize the return on your blog and to distribute content automatically from the open environment of the world wide web into the Facebook environment.
