Blog Once at Facebook and Posts Show Up on Blogger, Pownce, and...

Six Apart and Facebook have teamed on a new service called Blog It that lets any blog posted to Facebook automatically be posted to other blogging platforms including Movable Type, TypePad, Pownce, Twitter, Blogger, and WordPress (see complete list below).

What makes Blog It unique is the nature of how it works. Traditionally, Facebook allows users to import data and information around the Web to Facebook. Blog It now flips this process around allowing you to export content. The beauty of the service is rather than updating each blog service individually, you can do it all at once from within Facebook.

Here is a list of the blogging platforms you can export Facebook blog content to: TypePad, Blogger, LiveJournal, Movable Type, Pownce, Tumblr, Twitter, WordPress.com and any WordPress.org Site.

Despite how convenient and easy to use the application is, isn't it a little ridiculous that companies are now making blogging convergence tools to compensate for the vast number of available blogging platforms and services? Are we really in a world where this is required?

Regardless, if you are spending hours each day keeping all of your blogging sites up to date, this could be one heck of a time saver. It's a convenient service that is easy to set up and most importantly, it works.
