How to Import a Blog Feed unto your Facebook fan page

Scheduling Facebook and Twitter posts
Control your message timing by using third-party applications to schedule and post messages to Facebook and Twitter. A few to look at include HootSuite, PingFM and Sendible. These services will also let you post to multiple accounts or networks at once, saving you all kinds of time and steps.
Putting a Facebook Module on your Joomla site
A nice module exists to show a Facebook Fan module on your site, but it can be somewhat complicated to set up. Facebook requires an API key to make it work. To get a key, go to http://www.facebook.com/developers/ click on "Set Up New Application," give it a name, select your page, and save. You don't need to set anything else up with it, just grab the key. Of course, Third Sun clients can ask for help getting this on their site.
Other site interactions with Facebook and Twitter
Contact Third Sun if you want to discuss other options for intergrating your website and social networks.
