  I use my Facebook account to import my blog there; however, Youtube videos don’t seem to work. Am I doing something wrong?

  no, the embedded flash doesn’t get read by anything that’s pulling from your RSS feed (what facebook does). it’s not anything on the wordpress end, it’s a technical issue that’s possibly (but very unlikely) solvable at the facebook end.

  you could just insert a regular link to the video right after the [youtube=] stuff.

  do make it a nice request, thus far google reader is the only thing i’ve seen manage to parse youtube videos out of a feed.
