How to update your Facebook status with Twitter

Have you ever wanted to quickly update your Facebook status and Twitter status at the same time? Did you know that Twitter can automatically update your Facebook status on every tweet?

Using Twitter to update your status makes your Facebook profile much more timely, interactive, and personal.

With Twitter you can update by SMS, text message, mobile clients like Twitterriffic, through the web, or a myriad of desktop clients. You are much more likely to update by these methods than logging into the web to update Facebook, or using a Facebook specific mobile client.

The best part of this setup is that it only publishes original tweets, not replies or direct messages. This means your profile is always updated with what YOU are doing.

The setup is incredibly easy, just you follow these simple steps.

Instructions for the NEW Facebook:

• First, login to Facebook.
• Then go to the Facebook Twitter Application and click the Add Application button.

Instructions for the OLD Facebook:

• Configuring Twitter on the OLD Facebook is much easier than the NEW Facebook.
