Automating Updates to your Facebook Fan Pages with your Blog Posts

I am the blogger behind the Ninja Saga Cheats blog and to make it easier for visitors to read the blog's updates,  I made a Facebook Fan page. Over 5,000 and counting Facebook users who play Ninja Saga love the page. It is never a pain to make the page updated but I want to make it automated. Then I found RSS Graffiti. A tool that reads your blog feed and automatically write it on your wall.


RSS Graffiti also works on Profile pages, Groups and Application Profile pages. To set this up on your Facebook accounts, follow these basic steps:


1. Get it Here: http://apps.facebook.com/rssgraffiti/

2. Select a fan page, groups, or profile on your left panel and click "Click here to add RSS Graffiti to this Fan Page". A confirmation box will ask you to add or leave the application. Click " Add RSS Graffiti"

3. You will have to allow RSS Graffiti for publishing permissions to post to your fan page or groups.


4. After that, you are now ready to add an Atom/RSS feed. Fill in the Feed URL Box and complete the following needed information.

5. Customize your posting styles and set your posting schedule. Done!

A New Way to Organize the People you Follow on Twitter (Beta)

Just recently I open my Twitter account and I have notice something on  the header of my twitter page. See this.



Yes!, it is a new way of organizing the people you follow on twitter. Just Click the Create a new list then a pop up will open asking you to put your list name and the privacy of your list.




After creating your list, then start searching for people and start adding them up on your list. You can also add people from your Following page or anyone’s profile page.

5 Steps in Choosing Your Twitter Name


Your twitter name may attract or repel  followers so it is important that you choose the right name to success on Twitter. Follow these simple steps.

1. Your twitter name must be your message. This works well if you are promoting a product. Say for example a follower is looking for pc's. Then your name will be on his search results if you have a name with pc or something related. Your real name works well on Facebook but not much on Twitter.


2. Always check if the name you chose is available. People are buying and selling popular names now on twitter. Thousands of popular names are already taken. You can place numbers and will still show on the search results but you may not want to be accused as a copycat of that popular name. So try to be unique instead.

3. Make your name short. Often people search name with only one or two phrases. So if your name has three, I don't know if they will be interested in  following you. Also, retweeting your updates won't fit since your name occupies most of the characters on the text message. A 12 - 15 character limit is a good choice.

4. Fit your bio on your chose name.  Imagine a company with a pc on his name but selling something not even related on his subject. Catchy isn't it? ahahaha. You account will be suspended for doing so. Your bio on Twitter must be almost the explanation of you chosen name.

5. Stick to one account. If you are promoting a single product, using many accounts will be confusing for your followers. Use multiple accounts if you have several products to promote that are not related with each other.

There they are! The 5 steps in choosing your Twitter name. I need your feedback readers.

Are You Making These Twitter Mistakes?

Twitter, for most of people, might be an awesome tool. But it doesn’t hold all the answers that we are seeking. Twitter is addicting and fun! I’m a living proof. The addiction and fun it brings is precisely the trouble with Twitter.

Twitter is considered the SMS of the internet. Even with its 140 characters limitation, still that does not diminish the appeal of social media.

Most people commit these mistakes on Twitter:

When you turn on your pc, what do you usually open first? If you’re going to ask me, it’s my Friendster account lol! Many employees of certain companies admit that the first thing they open was their Twitter account. Some companies have restricted the use of Twitter on their employees’ computer because it hinders the workflow. Instead of filing some documents, they are twitting with their account. Twitter might not be a problem when you’re at home, but in the office yes it is.

Twitter replaces most of our meaningful conversations. And worst is that it also reduces into a 140 character limitation. Its instant messaging package was great but Twitting thank you messages for your friends who attended your, let say your wedding is not the same as sending them a personalized thank you cards.

Twitter can be used for advertising your business, drive more sales and spread the word to all your followers about your new product or service. But you must not rely on Twitter alone. Twitter could be your marketing tool but it should not be the backbone of your business.

Every user must know how to use Twitter well as well its limitations. So that it can be used in productive ways.

Must Read Twitter Safety Tips

Many people have fallen in love with Twitter. And we all know how fun it could be. Many people think there is nothing wrong with it at all. Who needs Twitter safety tips anyway when you could only see a cute bird logo?

Well, do not be sure enough that Twitter is cute like Tweety bird. Remember that Twitter is still part of the internet and is eligible of being targeted by sexual predators and people who wanted to do harm on others.

Just last month, I’ve post about another Twitter scam. It’s the “OMG! I Got Over 2000+ Followers on Twitter”. So I’ve prepared must read Twitter safety tips for all.

The internet was not harmful by itself. It is meant for online library of information and for fun. But what make it harmful were the groups of people that have bad intentions. Who could ever think that the person you are mingling with was a 50 year old pervert mask with a cute and handsome 15 year old boy? People could easily make lies on Twitter.

Don’t tell your location if you have added some friends on Twitter that were not really your friends. Twitting could be addicting. Don’t tweet that you are stuck on Starbucks alone drinking your favorite coffee. This information could be taken advantage by anyone.

Don’t give up your trust on the internet. Twitting that you have just bought a golden necklace could attract some wrong sort of followers.


Twitting is fun but don’t forget your limitations about twitting your private information for the whole world could read. Whatever you do on Twitter do not forget these must read Twitter safety tips.

OMG! I Just Got Over1000 Followers Today on twittercut.com!

This is another twitter scam on the loose! Hundreds of users were unwillingly posting the " OMG! I Just Got Over 1000 Followers Today on twittercut.com! " This scam was simple. Users enter the link then log their username and password and find their account automatically twitting the spam message.

I've checked the site and no doubt it looks like twitter....yeah a lil' bit. People who are not tech savvy might ignore the URL and continue entering the website. And of course the said 1000 followers is nowhere to be seen.

Beware of FaceBook Phishing!

Phishing is a cyber crime. How is it done? Hackers trick user victims to give their username and password to websites that looks like legitimate. If you give your username and password, the hacker could hi-jack your account and use it for his purpose. The latest biggest scam on Facebook was the ponbon.im, check121. im or the check151.im. If you receive such emails, delete it without clicking the link.

Protect Yourself from Facebook Phishing

  • Always be aware of the URL of the website you visit. The correct URL of Facebook is http://facebook.com/

  • Learn on how subdomains are named. A subdomain is a small domain inside a bigger website. The standard name of subdomains is written before the domain name. Example http://subdomainname.domainname.com. So if you see http://facebook.phishing.com then it is not FaceBook

  • Do not give your account info. I've read another FaceBook scam that is about quiz. It sends you a free quiz but at the end it will request for your phone number. If you give your phone number then you will be charge big bucks. Always look on the right URL and don't rely on the appearance of the web because anyone could replicate its design but not the URL.

  • Learn from previous scams. There are previous articles on FaceBook scams. Learn from them.
