Post updates to both Twitter and Facebook

If you have accounts with both Twitter and Facebook, it’s annoying to have to keep posting the same message to both websites. Selective Tweets is a Facebook tool that will automatically add Twitter messages to your Facebook account if they include the text #fb.

Click in the search box at the top of the Facebook web page, type selective tweets and press Enter. Click on the View Application link for Selective Tweets when the search results are displayed.

Click on the blue ‘Go to application’ box on the left-hand side. Click in the text box titled ‘The one and only step’, enter your Twitter name and click on Save.

To change the settings, click on the Account menu at the top right of the Facebook page and then Application settings. Select Allowed to post from the Show menu and then on Selective Tweets.
