Current status of the Ning Platform is always available on the Ning Status Blog.

thought i'd share a little tip with people who may not know how to do this with your fanpages. It's a very simple way to send select content from your network. Keep in mind, for the specific content to show up, your network has to be completely open to the public, otherwise it will show just your network name and description.

 On facebook, search for an app called "RSS Graffiti" and add it to your fanpage. Go to your network, and whatever content you want to regularly show on the facebook fanpage, click the rss radio button under it, and copy the link to the feed when it opens (i chose my latest activity feed, I'll explain why in just a second). go back to the fanpage, click edit page/apps/under rss graffiti click go to app. click add feed, paste the link and save, that's it!

 I chose my latest activity feed because it updates the page every time anything is added on my network that I chose to show in latest activity, so I am getting regular positioning on my facebook fans facebook feeds at the exact time my latest activity on the network updates!

 You can also add the rss graffiti to your personal page, and do the same thing, and get exposure to the people on your friends list who aren't fans of your network fanpage, which gives you even more exposure and coverage. Under application settings in RSS Graffiti, you can also add your twitter feeds to the facebook page, if you use twitter to promote your networks as well, so RSS Graffiti is a nice, instant all in one solution to use on facebook fanpages!

 

Enjoy!

    Other ways to get your feeds into FB Pages:

    Import through Notes App

    Using Google Reader Shared Feed and FBML

    Twitterfeed

    RSS2Pages

    Port Through Tumblr > Then FB Page

    Networked Blogs App on FB

     

     

    • will any of those get an extra link back, like porting thru Tumblr?

        kind of an advanced trick that I'll have to layout in a tutorial, but basically you can use tumblr to change the title of a tweet or link semantically using tumblr...yes it will geneerate a backlink but the most important think it will do is add authority to your link wheel..

        ill try to put a tutorial together on this soon for ya

        • cool thx J
