A Facebook RSS App that actually works

Last year I posted about how to feed many blogs on to a Facebook Page by taking advantage of RSS. I had been using Yahoo Pipes to aggregate 5 blogs into one feed and then used Facebook (FB) Notes to import the feed. Unfortunately, FB Notes stopped working every so often so I often had to fiddle with the settings by stopping the import and reimporting. I also tried a 3rd party FB app called Social RSS. That app also was very buggy and limited to only 5 feeds.

Lately I've had the good fortune to discover RSS Graffitti, another 3rd party FB app that works surprisingly well. The feeds are quickly updated to my FB Page whereas FB Notes used to take over 8 hours to update. I also don't have to mess with the settings, it's a set-it and forget-it app. Love it, it makes feeding my FB Page Wall with outside blogs, news, and sites like Yelp reviews so much easier.
