Twitter to Facebook

Comments 11 February 2009

Facebook and TwitterAs with setting up my new blog, i’ve been trying multiple ways to bring everything together – facebook with twitter, iphone with wordpress, rss/feedburner with blog.

Thought i’d run through how to post from twitter to facebook.

Simply posting everything:

Being a newbie, this was what i used to link my twitter feed with facebook – Twitter App for Facebook.

This apparently chucks everything i post into facebook’s status message. Considering that twitter encourages one to post every so often during the day, it has taken my usually once-every-several-days updating of my facebook status to once every few hours. My friends must be weirded out, or at least mildly irritated with all that spamming.

Selective posting:

In order to link your twitter account and decide only which tweets make it to your status message, you’d have to use a facebook application such as this.

Just by simply ending the tweets i want as my facebook status message with an #fb, i can have at least a degree of control over the posting.

Spam no more!

EDIT: I’ve written a brief tutorial on linking twitter to facebook via the facebook application above. Check it out here.
