Tumblr Now Has Facebook Timeline Integration
If you chose to “Share Posts on Your Timeline” within your Tumblr blog settings, your published posts will now be sent automatically to your Timeline, News Feed and Ticker (though you can toggle each post individually before publishing if you decide to keep it in your Tumblr only).
What does this mean exactly?. First of all, your posts will now show more “properly” since Tumblr App is now part of Facebook Open Graph.
Another great feature about the new integration with the Facebook Timeline, is that your content is kept private, that means people reading your timeline will have to visit Tumblr in order to know what’s behind the title, this is great news for publishers hungry for more hits in their blog.
Sending your Tumblr Posts to Facebook will never be the same after this update.
