I would love to be able to add RSS feeds to my FACEBOOK newsfeed. Without the RSS Feed Originator having to have a fan page. Because not every “blogger” or rss feed has a fan page. I would only want myself to see my imported rss feeds in my Facebook News Feed. Call it my Facebook RSS Reader. It would look similar to when WebProNews posts an article to there fan page which shows up in my News Feed. Am I explaining that right? But only so I can see it, I don’t want to “publish” the rss feeds to all my friends.

This would make things sooooo much easier. I could go to ONE place to view everything I want to see. I’ve tried finding a way to do that but haven’t found it yet.

“might be a good idea for facebook to borrow the idea from twitter and have short blogs with so many characters”

NOOOOOOOOOO! That’s one of Twitter’s weaknesses IMO. “Microblogging” shouldn’t even have the word blog in the name. You cannot — CANNOT — give anything its due detail in 140 characters, whether it’s whatever crap you ate for breakfast or your thoughts on Obama’s State of the Union.

I think Facebook SHOULD add a “blog” tab. I’ve never used “notes” and it isn’t very compelling to call it that. Rebranding it as the “blog” tab would go a long way, very quickly. I regularly post news stories on my status updates, along with a short description of my thoughts or feelings on the subject. Being able to link right to more lengthy “note” entry would be great for those who would like to read more and engage in dialog (rather than just commenting back on my posts).

As a Staff Writer for Factoidz, it has always struck me as strange that Facebook caters for links to a variety of sites, but nothing in the way of talking about subjects which can be controversial, and therefore interesting. I cite Handwriting Analysis, or Graphology as one of the examples which would provide EXCELLENT material for a BLOG.

I can open up other avenues in the process……who knows where all these things will be in 5 years time…..is Facebook just a fad?

Although the note is already in facebook making it read “blog” will surely generate interest. As a blogger and a user of socialnetworks, I always prefer those with blogs incorporated. This is a way to share your information with friends and groups etc.

I just joined Facebook. There is a lot of work, when you have other things to do. People who like to blog would benefit. I hope it makes everyone happy. I appreciate the information as always Webpronews

I am Owner/Self Proprietor of a Fantasy Collectibles Online Store and manage my own Advertising and Marketing, an “ever-challenging” task for a 34 year Construction Business Veteran.
I use Blogs and Free Classifieds a lot, as well as paid advertising campaigns such as Facebook and Adwords. Every little bit of exposure helps to “get the word out” about me and my business.
Blogs are great for Web Search exposure.

You could also use the blog feature for helping to SEO specific “other” sites you own & allowing others to comment….prefereably via “do follow” link capabilities with SEO options in mind!

Why can’t facebook just be facebook and blogs be blogs. OK to link your blog to facebook and visa versa but let me tell you this constant fire to change things and add things is making it confusing and hectic for small businesses to keep up the pace as well as just general users.
Why don’t all these companies stick to what they have and improve thier own product before they go rushing off trying to jump on someone elses product!

And the new fan updates going to the wall is NOT a good thing. When someone has a ton of friends its hard to keep up with all the wall posts and our fan updates are being missed. It would work OK if they coupled it with the old method where you could click on pages when you wanted to and check updates for all the pages you’re a fan of but without that all the fan updates are just getting lost in the stream of farmville, games and general friends wall posts.

It would work for social and family blogging, provides all members of readers are on fb. However, not so much for business blogging for many reasons. Some:
-monetizing through ads
-privacy on fb
-personal use of FB vs public use of blogoshere

it will be a great move for Facebook to really dominate the world wide web.

I love blogging and now mostly about my business.
Getting the “word” across along the span of the internet through FB would be very beneficial to many business owners.

I would love to see a Blog tag on Facebook! It is the only logical extension left for them!

IMHO, I am often restricted in my communication to my friends on FB because of the character restrictions.

Since FB is meant as a means to communicate with those who have an interest in what we have to say, telling a story, describing or explaining, or going off on a rant, is severely limited. While there are financial advantages to businesses using FB, the obvious prolific users are the general public that does have stories to tell.

FB knows that the advertising on pages designed for friends and family are exactly the pages that will be the buyers for the items that could be promoted on these pages.

FB gives the public a place to communicate simply with a group of people that they individually select as people they wish to communicate with. Let FB fill all their needs when they choose.

I think it would be more helpful if facebook users could roll their already existing blog into facebook like can be done on Ning and other sites. Please don’t want to lose their reader ship and a little post is ok but a tab with the whole post may be even better. It would be even better if we could post on our blog from facebook – but maybe a problem for me since my blog is through google and facebook through yahoo…

Bloging is okay, a lot of people like it, should it be implemented into facebook well
when you have blogers who like bloging, then you have clutter, my site posted in a facebook blog
would be considered clutter http://onestop4everything.mynetworksolutions.com/
However sense this is a blog I suppose you wouldn’t mind it being here,

But you have raised a very good question, my opinion would be as long as it was under a tab on facebook as like “Home” Profile” Blog with a drop down menu with blog topic’s that said something like, “Family, friends” Facebook network, which you could just send blogs to your family or people on your profile or like I said just friends, or everyone who has a facebook account on the facebook Network and limit your network blog to 1 blog a day because chances are this choice in blogging would end up being total advertisements and that is what detours people from blogging most of the time.

No what facebook needs is an open chat tab with categories different rooms with different topics where you can chat in a room with 4 people or 400 people and drop your calling card (your Add) and leave if you choose.
