Anybody have any experience in this? Looking to set this up on my Wordpress based blogs. There seems to be a few different ways of doing it...

I have an addon (plugin) setup on my Wordpress (main TSF page) to do this.  I still have to click the little Facebook or Twitter icon after I make a new post.  Can't recall the exact name of the plugin, but I can get it for you later.  Go to this post and look near the bottom and you will see the little tag icons I mean.

Ah yes thanks I'll check this out. Probably better than auto post actually.

I don't really care for auto posting, doesn't take much to write up a little tweet pointing at your blog post. More genuine :)

True. Not that I've really started posting yet. Really got to get my finger out! :)

I use a free service at twitterfeed.com that will monitor your blogs and post statuses on FaceBook and Twitter whenever new postings have been made on them.  It works pretty well.

The plugin I'm using is called, Share This.

The neat thing about this is it lets other who read a post of yours then click the little button and post it to their Facebook or Twitter accounts.

I use the WordTwit plugin to auto post on Twitter...

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordtwit/

This plugin is done by the folks who do the awesome WP Touch plugin that makes your blog look great on smartphones and smaller browsers.

To paste on our Facebook fan page I use the Facebook app 'RSS Graffiti'.  It can post things from any RSS feed.

Good luck,
