Send RSS Feed to Facebook Groups

I recently searched out how to set up a Facebook group so that you could have it automatically populated with content from an RSS feed. After searching for quite a while, I found lots of discussion groups, blogs and forums full of people asking the same question. Now, I have good news…

You can do it!

There is a Facebook application out there now that actually allows you to do this. I installed and configured the app several days ago, but I had to wait until the new post I wrote appeared on my group. What’s nice is that it makes it appear as though it was posted not only to the group, but by the group.


If you created a Facebook group and want to send RSS feeds to it in order to share it with other group members, look for the Facebook app called RSS Graffiti. There are a few cool things about this app.

First, you can direct multiple RSS feeds to your group. It will give you a preview of what it will look like when it posts. There are also a couple of options of how much of the content you want to appear. You can even control how often the RSS feed is checked for new posts! As if that weren’t enough, you can link up your Twitter account to it as well.

You can set up feeds to go to a group or to your own wall. If you are a member of multiple groups, you can set different feeds to go to different groups. There’s a whole bunch you can do with this app.

Now, admittedly, though I had connected my Twitter account with this, I did not see a Twitter update regarding the post. It appeared on the wall of my group, but not on Twitter. If the feed belongs to you, no worries…you can probably set up your feed to update Twitter for you (I know Feedburner does that).

I’m still planning on fiddling with that feature a bit. But, for now, I’m quite happy that it’s posting my feed to the wall of my group.
