If you embed videos in your blog posts often, you'll like this new update. In addition to pulling images from your posts, we now detect videos embedded in your post and detect their thumbnail images and use them when publishing to Facebook.
We currently support YouTube and Viemo videos. And we'll add support for other video embeds as you, our users, ask for them. If you embed videos from other sources, please let us know and include your feed so we can use it in our testing to support your embeds. Please contact us on this thread:

Although we detect video embeds now, we give higher priority to images. So if your post contains an image and a video, we'll use the image, not the video.

Happy holidays, everyone. Today, I'm glad to announce a new syndication page that is simpler and adds features that many of you have been asking for. Especially, the ability to see a preview of how posts look on Facebook before you publish them. We're hosting the new page on our Web site, rather than the Facebook app because it allows us to make it run faster and gives us more space to work with. Here is a quick summary of the main features:
- Select the blog you want to manage.
- List of the target pages to which new blog posts will be published. Click on each target to expand it and see more details.
- Add a Facebook target (profile, page, group or app) or a Twitter target.
- A preview of how the post will look like when published to Facebook.
- You can customize how your posts look such as hiding the NetworkedBlogs toolbar, hiding post images, ..etc.
- A high-level count of how many blogs you're syndicating to how many targets.
We're keeping the old syndication page for a few days, and then we'll replace it with the new one once we feel comfortable that everything is working as expected. Please try the new syndication page and let us know what you think.

This update is probably only interesting to app developers who build apps on Facebook. Every app has its own fan page. For example, this is the NetworkedBlogs fan page. But, for a long time, Facebook treated those pages different from regular fan pages, and that made it impossible to publish to them. In other words, NetworkedBlogs could not publish to it's own fan page, which was ironic. But Facebook corrected that a few weeks ago and we took advantage of the change. Therefore we're happy to announce that we now support publishing to app pages.
Starting today, if you go to the syndication page on NetworkedBlogs, you'll see a list of the apps you develop and you can configure your feeds to publish to them automatically. If you're not an app developer, then you won't notice anything different.
With this update, NetworkedBlogs can now auto syndicate your feed content to profiles, fan pages, facebook groups, facebook apps, and twitter. Enjoy :)

As you know, a few weeks ago Facebook updated their status box and in the process removed the application icons for all third-party apps, including NetworkedBlogs. That feature was probably rarely used by most Facebook users, but for NetworkedBlogs users it was the main way to manually publish articles to your profile and pages (if you don't use automatic publishing) and many of you complained loudly. We're as sad as you are, but today we're releasing a new feature to replace the missing one and in the process we made it much better.
Starting now, when you go to your blog page on NetworkedBlogs you'll see a link under each post called "syndication". It'll show you the number of times your post was published (see image). For example, if the post was published to your profile and fan page, then the number will be 2.
If you click on the "syndication" link, it'll expand to show you a list of your targets (profile + fan pages) that you can manually publish that post to. Simply click on the "publish" link next to where you want it to be published.
The details will also tell you if there are fans of yours that also published your articles to their wall or fan pages driving more traffic to your blog. It won't tell you who they are (maybe in a future release), but it'll tell you the total number of times your post was published.
Note: if you're not sure how to get to your blog page, it's easy: Click here to go to NetworkedBlogs, and then click on the "profile" manu and you'll see a list of your blogs that you've registered (assuming you've done that already), then click on the name of the blog to go to it's page).
