Interesting…yet another way to spam your friends :P.
I use to have twitter post to facebook..but it turns out it was the only thing I seemed to post on Facebook.

I’m cracking up. :D I also think that what’s under all the social media “gotta be in touch with the same people everywhere and every minute of the day” hype, is actually a subversive movement to agree to spam each other. Thanks for commenting. :)

As it happens, I am a Facebook user. I would normally post a link to my blog. As I’ve been using the More tag, it doesn’t look too bad. I’m using a personal page ad not a Fan page. Was I supposed to use this method? I’m not running a business, though.
I liked the new feature “Publish to Facebook” feature. The only caveat is this. It set the privacy to “Friends only”. Here I am seeking to create visibility via Facebook. I’m also working on building a rep on a couple of forums. I started off by going off to 4 niche related forums. The 4th is a MySpace copy called “MyPraize”.
I’m considering going to just two niche forums. Now, if I can just muster a tune of “A blogging I will go!”.
