How to link your Facebook account and fan page with Twitter
Brandon DavenportEveryone knows that Twitter is an easy way to get your message out to hundreds of people, in just 140 characters. Twitter won the hearts of social media junkies because it is so simple and easy to use. The ability to customize your profile with cool backgrounds and iPhone, Black Berry and Windows Mobile apps everywhere, it has been really easy to take your thoughts, ideas, or stuff you found on the internet, and tell everyone!
Now, Facebook is the exact opposite. It's home page is filled with "news about friends", endless invites and piles of stuff to go through. "Billy just sent you a beer" "You have been invited to mafia wars" "Dylan wrote anonymously on the bathroom wall". Even though its bloated with stuff, it is a powerful tool to share everything, and anything with friends, family and the world.
What if you could put the two together and create 1 mega super duper fantastic web-app!?!?
I will tell you how...
Step 1
First you have to login to facebook, and twitter.
Then go to facebook.com/pages and create a page
Step 2
Go to facebook.com/twitter (I never thought i'd see those words in the same URL)
Click "Link a page to twitter", and choose the page you just created.
Twitter will open and make sure you say allow.
Step 3
Select what you want to be "Tweeted"
Step 4
Load up your page by clicking the "Ads and pages" button on the bottom control bar.
Then do a test tweet:
It will automatically tweet for you, and link to any pictures, video or links you attach
Thats it!
So now you can reach a bigger audience and at the same time, keep up with all your tweeting and facebook... ing.
