Hi David!
Great Screencast! The Selective Twitter app works with Facebook pages now. So you can send your twitter updates to your fan pages. It's helpful!

thanks for the info — i’m just getting our library fb pg up so we’ll have to wait out the 100 fan limit.

on another note: i’ve had your blog on rss for about 5 months now — i find your topics, info etc very helpful.

If you're the admin of the page, go here and click "username for Pages" and follow the instructions. Some pages can't yet have a username (it has to have at least 100 fans). More info can be found here. Hope this helps!

how did you establish a fb “user name” for your library fb page?

Sheli,

Selective Twitter IS working for me now, thanks! I know I added that application (for my personal Profile) prior to creating my library’s fan Page, so I never saw the Fan Pages tab. But, I also added the application long before Facebook re-launched the new Pages. So either way, I didn’t know it works now with pages… thank you for pointing that out!

We used to feed our blog to our Twitter account with the Twitter Tools plugin for Wordpress, which works great with the regular Facebook Twitter app, and with using Involver to post our blog RSS to a Page tab. But, since Selective Facebook requires the #fb hashtag, I’ve disabled the auto-publish feature in Twitter Tools and instead set up our auto-publish “blog to Twitter to Facebook” via TwitterFeed instead, adding the #fb hashtab as a suffix to each post.

Thanks again!

Colleen,
It’s working for me. I have my personal twitter sent to FB w/ selective twitter, and then 2 fan pages w/ separate twitter accounts. First I had to set up the app to my personal page and save that. Then under the tab that says Your Fan Pages, you can add the others. I did have to grant permission, it was kind of a rigmarole, but somehow it accepted all of them. Hope this helps a little.

Awesome tutorial! I enjoyed the Social Software showcase, also (if you don’t mind) I’d like to let your readers know that my colleague and I recently published about our own experience with Pages (for an academic library) in Journal of Web Librarianship. (http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~content=a912332295~db=all~jumptype=rss)

At the time that we wrote it, Pages did not look like personal profiles. One thing to keep in mind–FB can change the interface at a moments notice!
I suspect that as Pages change and more and more libraries use them there will be additional literature about what libraries are doing with FB Pages.

Liz – I used Jing Pro. It’s cool! And easy to use, too.
