ascii Characters in Auto Posts
Posted on Dec 28, 2009
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.

So I finished this post and then thought about it a little. Should consider establishing blog categories for the individual social sites. It might be more interesting to ping Twitter, MySpace and Facebook status with shorter updates and then facebook (mini-blog) which would be the longer posts that contain images, links, etc. on a separate category. That way if someone was following you on all modes…they wouldn’t be receiving the same updates.
Just a thought.
