It’s week two into the new year and along with the new year, comes new commitments. We, as you may have noticed if you’re reading this, have integrated the blog into our Facebook page. We’re using our blog as an opportunity to share new ideas, new tools, news, helpful tips, and reviews. So with that in mind, our first post of the year: a write-up on our personal experience with NetworkedBlogs.
This is the free application available on Facebook that enables you to embed your blog into your Facebook profile. The NetworkedBlogs app automatically displays your blog post updates on the tab it creates. It also gives you the option to stream your blog updates on your wall tab. We chose to do both.
We like how the application displays your posts on the blog tab it creates with photo thumbnails from the blog post. It seems a more tidy and aesthetic view than other methods.
There are some minuses, in our opinion. To move forward so you can register your blog, you have to pick five blogs to follow. We weren’t exactly charmed by this requirement.
You also have to verify ownership of the blog. This we like and think it’s a good ‘security’ measure, but the quicker route to verify ownership requires some technical skills. We also noticed that there were some technical difficulties with the application late last year causing some unexpected changes and user confusion.
Overall, it is not the most intuitive application and somewhat involved to install but ultimately perseverance can pay off.
Don’t think your industry is blogging or doesn’t have interesting blogs? You should do a search some time and see what you find. You might be surprised.
