Super fast and simple technique to post your Ning network activity feed to Twitter then to your Facebook page.
First I went to http://twitterfeed.com/ and created a feed that will post to twitter. Then I went to http://apps.facebook.com/twitter/ and enabled the App to post my twitter updates to my Facebook page.
Make sure you choose the option to post to your Facebook page when asked. Head ever to Twitter, sign in and Tweet something and then head over to your Facebook page to make sure it is working. This will insure that Twitter will be posting fresh twitter content to your Facebook page when Twitter Feed starts working it's magic. =)
On Twitter Feed, I used the latest activity feed from my Ning network and set it to post every 12 hours.
The whole process will take awhile to populate on Twitter Feed. Once it populates, it will work like a charm and post daily to your Twitter page and in turn to your Facebook page.
See my Twitter and then My Facebook page. After looking at them just know, think I am going to make some adjustments to what's being displayed in my Ning network activity feed. No need to post profile updates and other non essential stuff. =)
Let me know what you think!
NOTE:
I added this for a client and ran into to some cache issues using Chrome Browser. I had some Chrome blocking extensions enabled when I started. It did not work, so I disabled the extensions and continued to have trouble.
If you run into any issues with the installation of the Facebook Twitter App, try clearing all cookies. Close your browser and start again. After clearing my browser cache and restarting the browser, everything went off without a hitch.

oh tha hitch
love twitterfeed...
Hmmm. I think I have two problems here.
1. Only some of my ning activity is coming through to twitter (I love that some comes through - but it looks like status updates aren't appearing, which are important to us). They do appear in the RSS and on the Activity listing in ning? I have set it for a refresh every half hour....
When I tried to used twitterfeed to post directly to Facebook (without going through twitter) I had the same issue.
2. Sadly though - even the activity which IS coming through and posting onto Twitter aren't posting on my facebook page - even though I have confirmed that I have allowed access etc etc. Is there a time delay on this, or is it just not working?
Don't know if you can help with this limited info - but I'd be grateful.
Thx, Jo
