Publicize: Facebook
You can now send your WordPress.com posts to Facebook.
Joining our Yahoo and Twitter features is the latest in WordPress.com’s Publicize family: Facebook.
The feature can be enabled from your Dashboard → My Blogs admin page. Once you enable it, you’ll be directed through an authorization procedure to confirm that you want to connect your WordPress.com blog and your Facebook account.
These connections are per blog and per user, so those of you with several blogs can choose which ones to connect, and those of you with multiple authors on one blog can each hook up your Facebook accounts separately.
More details can be found on the Publicize support page.
Update
Some of you may have been getting error messages asking you to authorize your connection with Facebook even though you already did that.
We think we’ve found this bug, so the error message will go away, but you’ll have to re-authorize that connection once more. Go back to My Blogs, uncheck Facebook, recheck Facebook and click the authorization button again. If that doesn’t work go through the steps outlined here. Failing that, we’ll be happy to help you out if you contact support.

This is nice but how do I post my WordPress.com blog posts to a Facebook Page Wall? i.e., my blog has its own Facebook page. It’s tied to my personal Facebook account. I want the posts to appear on the page’s wall — not on my personal wall.

We don’t currently support Facebook Pages. It’s something we’re looking into, though.

does this support normal posting of P2 theme?
LikeLike
When you post to a P2 blog from that blog’s home page, the default Publicize settings are used. So if you have Publicize: Facebook (or Twitter, or Yahoo!) set up on that blog, the post will get sent to Facebook (or Twitter or Yahoo!).
There’s no way to opt-out on a per-post basis from the front page of a P2 blog, though. For that, you’ll have to post from the blog’s admin.

Although it’s a popular platform, Facebook is turning into just a big spam place. I wouldn’t use your new feature. Already there is a repetition of information, no need to include another. (Twitter, Youtube, Flickr, Feeds, all of that connected to facebook, you read the same information again and again. Recently I’ve read many people being tired of this merging or everything together while the idea is the separation of the small talk of Twitter and Facebook and the more private, intimate connection with blogs.)

Pardon me Matt,
How does this differ from my blog posts that have been posting automatically to Facebook all along? When I created my Facebook account over a year ago, this feature was available (I added my blog to my FB account) and hasn’t changed. I love WordPress and the awesome work you do – I just want to make sure I am not missing something in this announcement…. Thank you!
Cheers,

For the speed freaks, Publicize: Facebook should get your blog posts onto your Facebook profile faster than the method you mention. It also gives you a bit more control (opting out for specific posts, customizing the title).

Hey BTW Wouldn’t it be better to allow some level of customisation before the publicize automatically posts the new link onto facebook.
Something on the lines of this-

for ex:- http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://2600hertz.wordpress.com/2010/02/22/ntt-docomo-do-the-new-separable-phone/
allows me to share the link a new post of mine http://2600hertz.wordpress.com/2010/02/22/ntt-docomo-do-the-new-separable-phone/

Just one question: other Facebook apps allow to include a thumbnail of a picture (included in my WP post) directly into the Facebook announcement (also choosing which picture).
Are you planning to do that with Facebook Publicize? Might be a great teaser for a link to WP.
Also, like many other users I’m looking forward to this app to go with Facebook Pages as well!!

If I already have my blog linked with facebook like I did when I 1st set up my facebook account,wouldn’t this cause double posts to facebook if this feature was enabled now? Seems like it would the equivalent to double linking.

There are several services (not just Publicize by WordPress.com) for linking your various accounts together (Facebook, Twitter, WordPress.com, …). If you set up multiple such services for whatever reason, you should probably experiment to make sure things don’t get double posted.

I already did that using the Blog/RSS import on Facebook (I can never remember how to get to it, so I’ll mention, you go to your profile page, click options, then settings [because somehow settings are different from options?] then Blog/RSS and paste in the RSS url of you blog.) I’ll try doing it this new way though, since Facebook quite often imports things multiple times via the method I’m using now, and also, it copies the content from the RSS feed, which can sometimes have stuff from unpublished drafts in it that I don’t want people to see (as I mentioned on https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/rss-showing-unpublished-draft-of-post-as-well-as-the-finished-version )
