How do you integrate your blog to facebook? This is an interesting question, especially for bloggers and web site owners who want to take advantage of social media for driving more web traffic. How do you automatically post your blog updates on facebook?
Well, I'm kind of in a rush and don't intend to make a long blog post about this. I just want to point out that there are many free services that allow you to do this but this is exactly how I did mine but it was not just connecting my blog to facebook but to twitter as well. Now talk about killing two birds with one stone.

Well, actually there was one stone - Feedburner and two birds - Facebook and Twitter and now my blog updates are automatically posted to Twitter first and then Facebook

Steps I took:
- First identified the url of my blog's feed @mydomain/feed.xml
- Opened a Google Feedburner account at feedburner.com
- Integrated my feeds to feedburner
- Use social tools from feedburner to connect to my Twitter account
- Used Twitter social apps on facebook at apps.facebook.com/twitter to connect my twitter account to Facebook

It is done.
Now my site updates will be published to the sites in this order - Feedburner > Twitter > Facebook

Now I don't have to log into twitter and Facebook fan page for my site again as all the work I have to do is withing my blog itself but Feedburner opened up the way.
Note there are many ways you can do this and web developers can even create their own apps and use it to connect to either facebook or twitter directly. The reason why I love feedburner is that it helps in getting people subscribed to your blog and still send them an email each time you make a new post. Now with these Trinity working together, all you would get is more traffic
