How can I update my business' Facebook page via my Ruby on Rails app?

I'm creating a new rails app for my business, and I just finished a new feature where I can put an announcement on the website (for specials, sales, etc.). I want this announcement to automatically be set to my business' Facebook page. How can I easily do this? Is the only way to crea开发者_运维百科te a Facebook application, and then if so, can a Facebook application have permissions to edit a business' page (I know apps can edit user profiles, but I don't know about business pages)?

Thanks for any help!

you can always create a rss and use for example rss grafiti http://apps.facebook.com/rssgraffiti on facebook. i think this is the simplest solution, instead of creating application.

This might not be what you want, but it'd be trivial to use something like Watir to navigate to the webpage itself and post your status; however, I'm not sure Facebook provides something in their API for direct update.

I found a service called "Twitterfeed" that posts updates from an RSS feed to twitter and Facebook (among other services). This is a perfect solution for what I needed!

There is a gem called 'facebooker', that might help you.
