Facebook Notes catches the wave... adds Images

Dear Micahel,

Please note that in this particular blog post you used as a "demo" for Notes. RSS Graffiti did pick and displayed the exact same image. Please do the same test for other blog posts where you believe RSS Graffiti picks the wrong image. You will probably notice that RSS Graffiti indeed does a selection and rejects images that look like buttons or banners whereas Notes picks the first images anyway.

Please also note that unlike Notes application, RSS Graffiti publishes a story on your wall pointing directly to your original article, where as Notes imports (copies) your original story into the Notes application and then publishes a story on your wall about your newly created (imported) Note. I find this difference fundamental. The hyper-links created by RSS Graffiti point directly to your original story (thus driving traffic to your sites, whereas the hyper-links created by Notes application point to the imported Note in Facebook which forces the visitor to read a badly formated copy of your original content inside Facebook giving them a bad impression on the content and keeping them from directly accessing your site. 

Unless this is what you are looking for, I think there is no comparison whatsoever between Facebook's Notes application and RSS Graffiti. They are built for completely different purposes although some users might think of using them for the same one. One of the reasons we started RSS Graffiti was that Notes was not good enough for what we wanted to do: promote our external sites through Facebook News Feeds and the Stream API.

Thanks for devoting so much time in evaluating our software and making suggestion on its improvement. We will talk more about it as we improve things in RSS Graffiti and specially about the media part that concerns you more the past few days.

Best regards,

Yannis
