Updating Facebook from Twitter – selectively!

by admin on October 29, 2009

Just a quick post for those of you who want to select which of your Twitter updates then update your Facebook status.  Updating from Twitter with everything is simple to do, but most of us, especially if we use Twitter and Facebook for different things, should be more selective!

A young man in Oxford, Andy Young, has created the Selective Twitter application in Facebook. It’s very straightforward to set up and will result in your Facebook perhaps looking less frantic, making more sense to your friends there, and probably not losing some!

It’s all very straightforward, hence the lack of step by step notes here – thanks to Andy – you can follow him here http://twitter.com/andyy

Have fun!

That’s a good idea – certainly my twitter and FB don’t mix.

Another way to do it is to use Tweetdeck, which can read your FB & Myspace newsfeeds in separate columns, and posts your tweets to twitter/facebook/myspace as you wish.

I absolutely must take a look at this – I have to admit other people’s updates are driving me crazy so I don’t want mine to do the same to other people :-)

Hope you’re well Babs
