How to Link your Facebook Account with Twitter and Vice Versa

How to Link your Facebook Account with Twitter and Vice Versa

Wale Adekile
November 4, 2012

My Twitter account got linked to Facebook like a year or two ago and ever since, my tweets automatically appear on Facebook as status updates (with via twitter written under the posts). This lets me update my profile on both social networks at the same time. The only drawback was that only I could only send tweets to Facebook, I couldn’t update my status on Facebook and then send it to Twitter as a tweet.

It wasn’t until a week ago when I was messing around my Facebook settings that I realized it was actually possible to do this. Your status on Facbook, uploaded photos and everything you do can be posted to Twitter. I have no idea how long it’s been there but finding it out was like an awesome discovery :p I’ll be explaining how to post from Facebook to Twitter and how to post from Twitter to Faceboook.
