How to update Facebook Fan Page Status Updates from Twitter

admin — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 20:23:59 +0000

This is a topic that has eluded me for some time. I have been looking for the right application everywhere to update my Facebook Fan page Status updates from my Twitter account.

All the applications I had previously used only created a ‘tab’ on my fan page with my Twitter Status updates, which was not good enough for me. It meant that people had to get to my fan page and then go to a special tab to see my updates. It also meant that my updates did not get to the Facebook walls/news feeds of any of my members of my page…a waste of time really.
I want people to see my status updates as they contain good info (well I like to think so).
I have created an easy to follow video that shows you step by step how to do this. Please keep in mind that I had to delete all other Twitter applications that I had running on Facebook as it seemed to be clashing with this new one. It may be OK not to delete others…give it a go and then let me know how it goes for you.

By the way, when I talk about hash # in the video, it also means pound #

Using News Feeds and Status Updates on Facebook

If you have a large amount of followers on facebook and you just cant keep up with all of the news feeds and Status updates on your facebook page, then I have some great news.
You may want to only check your facebook page every second day or you may want to be able to filter what you see on those updates. There may be people in your friend list that continually update their status with meaningless, mundane stuff that you are not interested in. Facebook lets you now organise your friends into certain lists that you can easily check through to see whats going on in their world.
I have made a quick video about how to do this and hopefully it will change the way you look at your facebook home page. Please let me know what you think by posting a comment on the bottom of this post.

And remember, if you have any questions about social media, please ask me, I will personally answer them for you.

Linking Twitter to Facebook Updates

I often get a lot of people ask me ‘how do I link Twitter to Facebook?’ In fact i get this question so often that i thought I would write a quick entry about it and I have also recorded this video to help you in a quick 2 minutes.
You will need to have a Twitter account already set up. Once you have, then log into Facebook and find the Application buttons down the bottom of the screen left. Browse for applications and find the one called ‘Twitter’. Click here to be taken to Twitter the application

There are a lot of twitter type applications but you want the one just called Twitter( by Twitter) You will need to go to the blue bar that says ‘ go to application’ and click on that. You will need to allow access to twitter to get into your Facebook account.

Once you have added your twitter username and password, the final thing to do is click on the link above that asks if you want to allow Twitter to automatically update your Facebook status.

So now all you need to do is update your status on twitter and it will flow through to Facebook.

I have created a video for you so please have a look at it below
