For a while now I’ve been importing these blog posts as notes into my Facebook account via the handy-dandy RSS feed Blogger provides. However, I recently added the feed to FeedBurner largely because it allows me to track subscribers using the handy little button on the right-hand side—four already since I added the thing, that’s pretty good I’d say.
At any rate, I wanted to change my Facebook settings to use this new feed, but by doing so had to reimport my last 10 or so blog entries, causing me to have to go back and delete all of the duplicates. Certainly Facebook could improve on this one—after all, they show you the entries about to be imported before you confirm, so it would be a simple matter to allow users to select which ones they want to add. As blogging continues to become more popular, it becomes more and more useful to have well-built tools for incorporating it into other popular sites like Facebook. While I am glad that the import feature exists, it needs a few tweaks to realize its full potential.
