Technology simplifies our lives and complicates them all at the same time. With the incredible reach of the social web, we find the ability to reach mass numbers of people easier than it used to be. Yet, at the same time, if we don’t find ways to streamline processes, we can waste serious amounts of time marketing our message ineffectively.
Today we are going to focus on streamlining the process of automatic updates of your Twitter account to your Facebook Fan Page or Facebook Profile Page. My preferred choice for Twitter to Facebook updates is the “Selective Tweets” application.
Automatic Posting of Twitter to Facebook
The Selective Tweets Application will allow you to decide when you’re tweeting if this is a tweet you want to have published to your Facebook status, or if you want to keep it in the Twitter world.
- From your Facebook home page, click on “Application” on the left sidebar.
- Type “Selective Tweets” in the search bar.
- Once on the “Selective Tweets” page, click “Go to Application”
- Enter your Twitter Username and click “Save”
- The “Allow Access” box will come up. Click “Allow”.
- You will then get a box that will say “Request for Permission”. Approve it and you are in!
Now, simply add #fb to the end of your tweet if you want that tweet to go to Facebook… Easy as that!

- Click “Allow Publishing”
- Enter your Twitter Username you want to be associated with the Fan Page
- Click Save Changes
- Any tweets you post from the Twitter account that end with #fb should now update the status for your page(s)
