8. How to automatically import
new blog posts as Notes in
facebook

12. Since facebook’s Notes will
only import one feed, if you
have a few blogs and want to
import the posts from all of
them, use a tool like RSS Mixer
to mash them up into one feed
that you can then use in
facebook for importing

13. Yahoo Pipes is also good for mashing
feeds, but is a little more complicated
