Twitter Launches ‘Post Tweets To Facebook’ Feature

Facebook and Twitter are top social networking sites today. If you’re a social networking freak, you must have an account on these two platforms or may be multple accounts  . Some users like posting same status to both social networks. You’ll find many third-party applications that allow you to post same status updates across both Facebook and Twitter at once.

Why use any third party application? Twitter has added a new feature ‘Posts Tweets to Facebook’ that will allow you to link your Twitter account with your Facebook account and send your tweets directly to your Facebook account as status updates.

How To Enable ‘Post Tweets To Facebook’ Feature

Twitter has added this feature into the Profile settings. So you have to enable the feature to cross post your tweets to Facebook profile. If you’d prefer sending all your tweets to your Facebook account, follow the steps below:

1) Log into your Twitter account. Go to Settings and select Profile Settings from the nav menu.

2) Scroll down to the bottom and find the button ‘Post Tweets to Facebook’. Once you connect your Facebook account and enable it, tweets you post on Twitter will automatically be posted on your Facebook profile too.

If you’re addicted to Twitter and send more than 200 tweets a day, let me tell you that by enabling this feature, all of your tweets will be posted to Facebook. It’ll flood your Facebook profile with too many updates. 200 tweets a day looks normal on twitter but if you’re updating 200 Facebook statuses, you’ll be called as spammer.

So if you don’t want to have all of your tweets appear on your Facebook page, I suggest you to use Selective Tweets. It’s a Facebook application that allows you update your Facebook status from Twitter but only for the tweets you choose.
