Blogs... import ability?

Posted by Bill Swallow on May 15, 2008 at 9:33pm in Miscellaneous

Is it possible to have blogs here automatically import postings from another blog? I know Facebook does this. I'm lazy and would like to be able to post once, import everywhere. Also, Twitter compatibility?

You could also add your Twitter RSS feed to serve up your latest tweets. It's not really an import, but at least the content's visible. Is that the kind of solution that might work, or are you really wanting an import?

If you really want an import, and you're using Wordpress, take a look at http://developer.ning.com/forum/topic/show?id=1185512%3ATopic%3A4442. It's a one-time import, though, so for the lazy in me, it doesn't quite do it since I would want to have ongoing posting. :); ▶ Reply to This

This is different that just adding an RSS feed on your profile page as others have mentioned.

Unfortunately, as far as I know what you are trying to do can't be done on the Ning platform (what this site runs on).; ▶ Reply to This

Organizations have had to integrate these technologies themselves and cope with the resulting overhead.
It doesn’t have to be like this. Read our new whitepaper, Best Practices of Global Product Information to find out how you can streamline and enhance the processes you use of communicate global product information.
