Blog It: Update All Your Blogs and Web Services

16 04 2008

TypePad has launched a free Facebook application called Blog It. It is widely considered as a valuable tool to help a Facebook user on update her blogs and Web services from within her Facebook account. One you installed this app (application), you can add different accounts you owned elsewhere, such as Blogger, Twitter, Pownce, Movable Type or WordPress, and with this app, it allowed you to post your latest update, blog post from inside your Facebook profile. I thought it would be cool for a Facebook user to post a blog post, or latest update without leaving Facebook. Consider that an user having to log-in multiple accounts and re-type a same message is trivial.

Assume you’ve a lot of friends on Facebook, simply post to blog will likely to increase the number of people who see your post. It is due to the fact that when you post to your blogs, this activity will also be included in your Facebook’s mini-feed, and your friends will definitely aware of your latest post appeared onto your blogs. However, one disadvantage is that you won’t find all the helpful editors such as Italic, Underline, Tagging, Insert Image to post on this tool. To illustrate this, I’ve inserted a picture in below, and you can see this “Post to Blog”, it was restricted to a simple interface temporarily. On the other hand, if you want to post your latest notification to some micro-blogging platforms such as Twitter or Pownce, you’ll find how useful this Blog It was rendered.

Currently, Blog It supports TypePad, Blogger, LiveJournal, Movable Type, Pownce, Tumblr, Twitter, Vox, WordPress.com, and WordPress self-hosting blogging platform.
