If you have become fully immersed in the social networking world, you may be overjoyed to know that Tweets can be sent to Facebook. This makes sense as more and more users of the free and far-reaching social marketing online plan, both Twitter and Facebook, want to be able to connect the two entities. Twitter has made this very easy by having a setting that will allow you to automatically forward your Tweets to your Facebook. One of the nicest things about it is that it will simply insert your latest tweet so that you can post to Facebook less often.
Before you get started sending your tweets to Facebook you should consider how you tweet. If you are someone who is tweeting every few minutes, you should consider if your Facebook friends will want to see every Tweet on their Facebook wall. On the other hand, if your Tweets have some value and good information in them (and you are careful about your content) then your Facebook friends might appreciate it. They can use your Tweets for their own online marketing. Tweeters who use this find that they soon have more friends than they know what to do with.
If you have decided that your Tweets should show up on Facebook here is the process to follow. Once you have completed these easy steps, you will find yourself saving lots of time.
- Go to Twitter and login.
- Click on Settings (you can find this at the top of the page).
- Fill out the requested info and then go about half way down to the “More Info URL” and look below it for the blue text in parentheses “You can also add Twitter to your site here” and just click on the blue text link.
- Choose the site (Facebook) where you want to add your Twitter updates. At this point the instructions will walk you through the process of linking your accounts.
Many users love this process, because sending Tweets to your other social sites, will save you so much valuable time. This time can be used for other important business building activities. This is also a great way to build a responsive and loyal list for your online marketing business. It is important to make sure to never abuse it. Always make sure you are choosing your words wisely, because you can not take them back.
It is important to realize that you may not want every Tweet to go to Facebook. Many posters find that occasionally their Twitter and Facebook updates will be in sync. You might think something is especially funny and want to share it in both locations, but generally you might want different messages for each platform. This is where Selective Twitter status comes into play. Remember that you can update your Facebook Status, from Twitter but only for the tweets you choose. This is easy enough to accomplish. You will simply end a tweet with “#fb” when you want it to update your Facebook status from Twitter. This way you will:
- avoid confusing your Facebook friends
- not swamp your profile with too many updates
- be able to leave certain updates on Facebook for much longer
It is also important to remember that this also works with Fan Pages, and not just personal profiles! This app is one of the few ways to sync from Twitter to a Facebook fan page, and still be selective about what Tweets you send. It should also be noted that this does not work if your Twitter updates are protected. Also, there is usually a minute or two delay, so you should be patient when you first try it.
