How to Add a Facebook Badge to Your Tweets
As a member of Facebook, you may create various Facebook badges to share on other websites. Facebook badges contain content from your Facebook page, such as your profile information, photos and likes. Generally, for you to post a Facebook badge on a website, the website must allow you to post a HTML code. Because Twitter does not allow you to post HTML codes directly into your tweets, you can only add a Facebook badge to your tweets by creating and uploading an image of your Facebook badge to an image-sharing Website that tweets your images.
