Post in Facebook and automatically post to Twitter, too

You may have a Facebook account and a Twitter account. Probably because you have some friends who use one but not the other. Or you yourself have different social behavior for each. Or for some other reason. But probably, there are instances when you want to post one and you want that posted also on the other.

For example, this blog has a Facebook page as well as a Twitter account. When I post this to its own Facebook page, Facebook forwards the same post to Twitter, together with the link back to this post.

To do this, you have to log in to your Facebook account, and then go to the Twitter link page at this URL:

http://www.facebook.com/twitter

This page will show your Facebook pages, each with a button  giving you the option to link it to the appropriate Twitter account. When you click that button, it will ask for your Twitter account username and password. Make sure to check that you are entering the Twitter account where you want the post to appear.

If you want the other way around (i.e., post in Twitter first, and it will appear in Facebook), you can check this post:

I actually post primarily from Google+ and my posts there go to Facebook and Twitter. I will write how I do that next week. In the meantime, let me know if you have related questions :D
