Facebook + Selected Tweets = Love

2009 April 18

Back before I really paid attention to either my Facebook or Twitter stream, I had all my Tweets fed into my FB status.

But then I began taking social media more seriously and noticed how noisy and confusing it can be to see bits and pieces of a Twitter conversation on your FB wall. It’s confusing enough on Twitter.

So I disabled Twitter updates.  There was no real value in it anyway, except that aggregating gives me a sense of covering all my basis, but in the Twitter / FB situation it was false.

Selective Twitter, on the other hand, does add value.  It allows you to update your status with the Tweets you choose, by adding #fb to the end of the Tweet.

And adding the app is dead simple.

Just activate in Facebook and add your Twitter user name:

Your Twitter update ends up on your Facebook status, wall and public stream.

    Nice post. I agree that the 1:1 posting of twitter to facebook that some tools provide, are a waste of time, too many half conversations are sent which confuse your facebook followers. I will definitely be checking this tool out.
