How to Add a Twitter Feed to FBML

Adding Twitter to Facebook brings together two powerful social media platforms.

Facebook Markup Language (FBML) is the special language that lets you add custom pages to Facebook. Since Facebook is so popular, lots of companies have made apps that let you add pages to Facebook without having to know FBML. Adding a Twitter page to your Facebook business page is one of those kinds of apps that makes it very easy to add your Twitter feed to your Facebook page without knowing any code.

Things You'll Need

• Twitter account
• Twitter page for a business or organization

Instructions

1. Go to Facebook and log into your Facebook account, if you are not already logged in.

2. Visit the "applications" page of the Involver website (see Resources), find the Twitter app and click on the blue "Install" button below the description.

3. Click on the drop-down menu to choose which Facebook page you want to use it on (this part will not happen if you have only one Facebook business page). Select the page, and then click on the blue "Add Twitter" button.

4. Add your information to the form, click to put a box in the check-box next to where it asks if you agree with their Terms of Service, and then click on the blue "Save and Continue" button.

5. Type in your Twitter username and click on the "Add" button. You can add more than one Twitter username if you want. When you're done, click on the dark blue "Go to Facebook Page" button to go to your Facebook page. You'll see a new link below your profile picture that says "Twitter" that takes you to a page containing your Twitter posts.
