How to Unlink Facebook and Twitter

Stop innundating your Facebook profile with tweets.

Twitter provides an application for Facebook that links your social networking profile with your Twitter account. After adding the application to Facebook, your tweets automatically appear on your Facebook profile. This application has some side effects, however, for avid Twitter users, because your Tweets can pile up on your Facebook profile, annoying not only you but your friends as well. Remove the Twitter application from your Facebook account to stop spamming your profile and friends with your tweets.

Instructions

1. Visit Facebook's homepage and log into your profile.

2. Click "Account" in the upper-right corner and click "Privacy Settings." A new Web page appears.

3. Click the "Edit Your Settings" link in the "Apps and Websites" section in the lower-left corner.

4. Click the "Edit Settings" button in the "Apps You Use" section."

5. Click the blue "X" icon to the right of the "Twitter" listing. A prompt opens asking you to confirm the deletion.

6. Click "Remove."
