A company called Blogfuse has built an application that allows bloggers to create their own Facebook app for their blog. Here's mine.
Here's some tidbits...
- The app supports any blog that has an RSS feed associated with it.
- The set up is easy enough, though was a tad confusing. You have to go back and forth between their setup checklist and Facebook (which they embed on the setup pages using iframes) and some of the instructions didn't always seem to match up with what I was seeing on the Facebook page. It took me about 10 minutes to set it up.
- Once the app is set up, as with every other FB app, you can invite your friends (20 at a time of course).
- Just like other apps, it shows up in your profile.
Here's what it looks like...
Now, the trick is getting other Facebook users to actually add the app to their profile. If nothing else, you can add it to yours... and maybe that's the point in the first place. At the very least, maybe they'll share your post with friends. So, write good stuff and keep it comin'. That's the viral key.
Personally, I think this is a must-do, even at $5.00 per blog.
