If you're like me, you have a substantial number of contacts on Facebook, and barely any followers to your blog(s) or tweets outside of Facebook. You like writing on your blog, but you'd like your Facebook contacts to read your posts.
This quick tutorial will cover 3 things:
1 - Importing your tweets into status updates on Facebook (selectively)
2 - Importing your blog into Facebook notes
3 - Mashing together several blogs so you can import them with #2.
__________________________________________
1 - Importing tweets as Facebook status - selectively
Selective Twitter lets you update your Facebook status from Twitter, but you can choose which tweets you want - just end a tweet with #fb when you want to post it as your Facebook status.
Note: If you are already using another app to sync your tweets with FB, disable it before adding Selective Twitter.

2 - Importing your blog as Facebook notes
If you want your FB notes to update from one outside source (e.g. your blog), go to the
Notes Import settings page and enter the URL of your blog. Facebook will then subscribe to the RSS feed. (Most blog platforms should have an RSS feed ready.)

3 - Importing several sources as Facebook notes
FB only lets you import from one source. What if you have more than one blog?
Using
Yahoo Pipes, you can quickly and easily mash together several RSS feeds into one. (this has useful applications beyond the Facebook scenario.)
Copy your blogs' RSS feed URIs, and add them in a Fetch Feeds element in your pipe.
Go back to 'My Pipes' and click 'Run Pipe', then 'Get RSS' to get the feed URI.
Then enter that into FB's
Notes Import page.
Note: If that doesn't seem to work, run your pipe's feed through FeedBurner, which will output a simpler feed URI.
