If you want Facebook to update automatically when you post an entry to an RSS feed, there are apps that allow you to import your RSS feed; one of the most common is RSS Graffiti. You can also use TweetDeck or HootSuite to write and schedule status updates. All three methods can be used either for your Facebook profile or for your Facebook page.
