Is there an app that will bring my facebook feeds to my google reader? facebook's blocked at office, and google reader isnt.

In fact, RSS readers should extend themselves to be able to stream in & open email as well! That would be SO useful.

Last weekend I noticed that people were streaming their blogs into the 'Notes' part of Facebook. This updates all of their Friend's accounts every time they make a new blog post.

I set mine up & it's really slick!

Thanks for the tip! This is a great way to get blog content pushed to a wider audience. I've been on Facebook and MySpace in conjunction with a conference promotion for the last several months. We've found the Facebook audience much more appropriate for our purposes!

Thanks for the tip, John.

I just added the application to my Facebook account.

I have also been messing around with the new Facebook Video application.

I uploaded a few of my product videos for my business to my Facebook account, and made them public so that anyone can view them.

The caveat for this feature is that you have to personally have something to do with the video, or Facebook won't let you upload.

As I am the product demonstrator and appear in the video and own all of the copyright to the video, I can upload my video.

You can't just upload random videos. And they have to be 2 minutes or shorter, so nothing long!

Your post also gave me the chance to check out my unused Google Reader account too. (I use My Yahoo to read all of my feeds currently.)

I'm actually considering switching to Google Reader after the re-look, because you can read all the posts without having to click all the way through to the blog page, so you can go through a large number of posts a lot faster.

Frankly, I've found Facebook to be a good way to get back in contact with some old friends, but I haven't really found it to be a useful business tool.

(I have a MySpace page for my business, and I have found that to be pretty much useless.)
