Linking blogs to Facebook

This is an update to my previous post on my problems linking Twitter to a Facebook page (not my profile page).

I tried different things but it didn't work out and in the end I just gave up. I have already linked my blog and Twitter and I had hoped to publish my Tweets on my Facebook page by linking the two up. This was main reason I had wanted to link the two social mediums.

I was talking to a friend and she suggested a solution which was really simple that I would have kicked myself on the butt if that was possible.

She asked whether it was possible to publish the blog feeds on my Facebook page. There was no need to link Twitter to my Facebook page as my main intention was to publish the blog feeds on Facebook automatically without me having to post regular updates manually.

I used the Notes app on Facebook. Click "Import a Blog" in the Notes settings. I then put my blog feed url which I had published using Feedburner.

Now my latest blog posts appear on Facebook automatically.

Problem linking Twitter to Facebook page

I am having problems linking my Twitter account with one of my pages which I created for for an organisation I am part of on Facebook. I am using the Twitter application on Facebook. It automatically allows me to post to my Facebook profile but not to my specific page which I created.

Does any one know of a solution?

mRockstar - New social network coming soon

Just booked my user name with mRockstar, a new social networking site which is due to be launched soon. Short for "I'm Rockstar", the new social network will be open for its verified beta-testers by August 5, 2011.

So what's different about this social network?

Well, I have very little info other than that two hip-hop artists in India, Tomm Dogg (Malav Karkar) and K.J. (Rohit Gaur) came up with the concept. I guess the clue is in the name and it will have something to do with music and people who love music - but that's just my hunch.

Accordind to the note I received from them, "mRockstar is all about making new friends, playing favorite music, communicating with idols and key people of corporate world".

Looking forward to the launch.

Facebook emails

Ever since Facebook announced that they were going to providing an @facebook.com email address to every person on Facebook which wants one, I have been waiting for the invitation. I finally got one yesterday and signed up straight away.

After you sign up, you can email anybody directly by going to Facebook Messages and then typing in the email of the person you want to send the email to where you would normally enter your Facebook friend's name. You also have the option of attaching a file or taking a picture or video. However, I am not sure why, when I last tried it, the file attachment function was not working.

However, there are people who are harvesting people's emails by luring them to a fake Facebook email signup app. So be careful.

Watch out Gmail, Facebook mail is here.

Tweet Topic Explorer

Just found out about this unique tool called Tweet Topic Explorer which displays your most recent tweets and the most common words used in the tweets. Words most often used together are grouped by the same colour.

New Logo 2011

I had been thinking of changing my blog's logo for quite sometime and finally decided to get someone to design it for me.

My brief was short - a simple, neat and tidy logo and I think the designer - allodenny, has done a decent job.

And the cost, it was not free but it was dirt cheap that I am ashamed to post it here.

My old logo looked liked this:

So what do you think?
