Elsewhere Online: Facebook’s Blog Import Broken, RSS Graffiti Fixes It

Facebook’s Blog Import Broken, RSS Graffiti Fixes It

Shared by 

Great information from my fellow Friends in Tech member, Mike McBride. This solves several issues for my many Facebook Fan Pages.

I had posted recently on both my own profile, and the Page that I created for fans of the sitethat the Facebook blog import to Notes feature has been broken for a little while now, and so new blog posts here were not getting added over there.

Well, thanks to a mention on a mailing list by Kreg Steppe, today I discovered a neat little Facebook app called RSS Graffiti. It not only fixed the problem by taking an RSS feed and posting items as they appear on the appropriate Facebook walls, it actually goes one better, by allowing me to enter more than one feed to be posted. Previously, I had to use Yahoo Pipes to create a combined feed in order for two blog’s posts to get posted to a fan page wall, now I can easily do it with RSS Graffiti.

Plus, it seems to work pretty flawlessly, which has never been true of Facebook’s own importer!

Event: BarCampLA-7 – May 2 & 3, 2009

Saturday and Sunday, May 2 & 3, 2009

OTX Research
10567 Jefferson Blvd
Culver City, CA 90232

BarCamp is an unconference, which means the conference attendees are also the presenters. You meet on Saturday, post your session on a wall chart schedule and away we go. Topics can be anything that you are passionate about.

I am planning on doing at least one New Media-related session, but I have several others I might do, if time permits. I would love to see all of you there, both learning and sharing your knowledge with others.

I am hoping to run a local webcast station live from BarCampLA interviewing interesting people and giving podcasters a chance to record their show live. If you are interested in a 30 minute or 1 hour time slot, please let me know. I will have a signup available as we get closer to the event.

Finally, I also plan on doing our 3rd BarCampLA Acoustic Music Jam on Saturday night, I get a big kick out of this and it was very popular last year.

For more info on BarCampLA, visit http://barcampla.org annd subscribe to the BarCampLA mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/BarcampLA and sign up for BarCampLA-7 on the wiki at http://barcamp.org/BarCampLA-7

See you at BarCampLA-7!

What’s the differences between a Facebook Group and a Fan Page?

Facebook, Inc.
Image via Wikipedia

I was looking for the answer to this question for both myself and the many people who ask me about the differences. I know a few of the differences, but it is nice to have it all laid out in a concise fashion. Thanks to Chuck Reynolds and Jacob Burke of the PodCampAZ organizing group for pointing me in the right direction for this info.

How are Pages different than Facebook Groups?

Pages can only be created to represent a real public figure, artist, brand or organization, and may only be created by an official representative of that entity. Groups can be created by any user and about any topic, as a space for users to share their opinions and interest in that subject. Pages can be customized with rich media and interactive applications to engage Page visitors. Applications can’t be added to groups.

Pages are designed to allow Page admins to maintain a personal/professional distinction on Facebook, while groups are a part of your personal Facebook experience. If you’re a group admin, your name will appear on that group, while Pages will never display their admins’ names. Additionally, when you take actions on your group, such as posting on your group’s wall, these actions will appear to come from you as an individual. However, if you post or take other actions on a Page you own, it will appear to come from the Page.

As long as a group is under 5000 members, group admins can send messages to the group members that will appear in their inboxes. If the group exceeds 5000, admins can’t send messages to all members. Page admins can send updates to fans through the Page, and these updates will appear in the “Updates” section of fans’ inboxes. There is no limit on how many fans you may send an update to, or how many total fans a Page can have. It’s also possible to restrict access to a group, so that new members have to be approved, but access to a Page can only be restricted by certain ages and locations.
