How to Use Twitter to Talk to Facebook Friends

Talk to your Facebook friends through Twitter by linking the two.

Keeping your friends and contacts informed is easy with social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. However, logging in to both services separately to communicate with all your friends can be time-consuming. Save time and keep all your friends informed by posting Tweets directly to your Facebook profile page. Setting up the Twitter for Facebook application is an effective way to streamline your online social life.

Things You'll Need

• Internet access
• Facebook account
• Twitter account

Instructions

1. Launch your Web browser.

2. Access Twitter and log in to the account that you want to link to your Facebook profile.

3. Launch a new Web browser screen by clicking the new tab function on the browser menu. If you don't have a tabbed browser, launch the Web browser again from the desktop so you have two browsers running at the same time.

4. Access Facebook and log into the account that you want to link to Twitter.

5. Navigate to the Facebook applications page (apps.facebook.com/twitter/).

6. Select "Allow" when the application flashes up the "Would You Like to Connect Your Twitter and Facebook Accounts?" message. You've now connected your Twitter and Facebook accounts. Each time you Tweet, your Facebook friends can read the message from your profile page and profile feed.

Tips & Warnings

• Linking your accounts means that all Facebook friends who use Twitter can find your Twitter account.
