Testing the Typepad Facebook Automatic Posting
Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media
NOVEMBER 8, 2007
Just testing this new feature in typepad that lets you automatically cross publish to Facebook profile. What's nice about it is that it puts a link to your blog post in a mini feed. Right now I was using the blog friends feed. See larger image here. It didn't prompt me and it automatically published it. Any answers?
