Archive for the ‘posting feeds’ Category

I installed Snapvine on the Rich Kid Academy site because the site is just full of “stuff to do” for visitors but it didn’t really take off.  Dr. B is using it to leave messages, which I think is a good use for it.

I really like the design of Infrared5′s website. Just movies and looks beautiful.

In my continuing road down to optimize social marketing for myself and my clients, I just discovered I can update my status with Skype.  This is very very good.

And voila…it’s posted.

OMG…I thought I was gonna lose my mind. But, yes thank you very much even with no sleep sometimes things work out.

So my post earlier: Update Twitter & Facebook Fan Pages Automatically via RSS had a little problem in that the posts contained ascii characters, as well as the fact that there wasn’t any thumbnail image in Facebook if you added a post on the site.

The ascii characters didn’t appear in Twitter but did on MySpace as well. ascii Characters with posts via Twitterfeed. So what was the fix?. I still use Twitterfeed (since it loads the rss feed from feedburner) but turned off the Facebook update and create a Ping.fm ccount. Then with Ping I set up updating facebook and the posts seem to be fine.

So easy…just post on your blog and everything else is update.

I have been desperately searching for the best application to be able to post status updates to both twitter and a Facebook Fan Page.  There are a couple of issues with the whole facebook fan pages.  If it is attached to my person account there aren’t many tools that don’t also post to your profile, which doesn’t work.    I maintain a few status updates for clients and then I have my own (which is completely ignored most of the time)…although my twitter updates from here.   Now all I needed was a facebook update.

So I just found a GREAT TOOL!

Twitterfeed: Update Twitter & Facebook Fan Pages Automatically via RSS.

So what I did is in my blog I created a posting category called “facebook posts” and then created a feed for that category only using FeedBurner.  You don’t have to use FeedBurner, I just happen to like FeedBurner.

Then in Twitterfeed you add the feed.

Then just connect to facebook and select the page that you want the feed to go to.  This is going to work fabulously!
