Add Your Blog To Facebook.Facebook is a social networking website. Previously it was used by students of Universities to network. The name of the site derives from paper facebooks showing members of the campus community that US colleges and preparatory schools give to incoming students, faculty, and staff.
This year they launched the Facebook platform allowing developers to create little applications which you can add to your profile. Since it has now become one of the top most visited sites adding your blog to your profile will give it more exposure.
There are several ways you can add your blog to your Facebook profile...........
Firstly you will have to create an account if you do not have one. Anyone can join Facebook. After registering with a valid email address you can join the networks you are interested in to connect with people of similar interests. You can customize your profile to show only what you want and keep the rest private.PUT BLOG IN PROFILE
Flog your blog on Facebook. To do this go here. Add your blog Feed URLs and set how much of your blog posts you want to display. Save the settings and now your blog posts will be seen by everyone looking at your profile on Facebook.PUT BLOG LINK IN PROFILE
New applications are being developed everyday. To promote your blog and search for new applications type in the word 'blog' in the search box above the 'Applications' link in the sidebar. Click on the application you want and then click 'Add Application' to set the settings and add it to your profile. There are applications to add a screenshot of your blog as well.PROMOTE YOUR PROFILE
Put a Facebook badge on your blog to promote your profile. Visitors to your blog can click on it to visit your profile and check out your networks and interests. To do this click on the 'Create a Profile badge' link in the bottom frame of your Facebook profile. You can design your own badge or use any of the templates to show off your photos or your contact information. After customizing your badge copy the code given and paste it in a Html page element in the sidebar.
MAKE YOUR OWN FACEBOOK APPLICATION
Facebook also allows you to create your own applications and distribute them. The startup costs for developers are extremely low, and the potential is high.
To start add the developer application to your Facebook account. Then download the client library of your choice, open your favorite development environment, and you're ready to go.
After you've added the Developer Application and downloaded a client library, use these resources to learn more about building a Facebook application.

As Vin said it is very easy and it gets even better if you can connect to lost friends or class mates. Even if you don't you can make new friends. I put facebook on my site sometime ago.

Hey Vin,
I am having a tremendous amount of trouble figuring out what my feed URL is. How do I know what it is?

The URL of your blog's feed is :

Both blogs, and facebook are used for online socializing, so the combination is amazing and i'll prefer this to more peoples.
i think that is called deep linking through the social media websites and that is white hat tech.
what do you say ?
