Connecting Twitter with Facebook: Social Media Integration & Optimization

So you're on twitter AND facebook... But its so hard keeping up with them both?!?
It's easy to get lost in one and not the other, but you've got fans on both platforms that expect relevant information from you an a frequent basis. What better way to give them what they want than to integrate these platforms together so you're sharing the same information on both?

1. If you're more active on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/twitter/
Link your facebook page to twitter so that any status updates you post on your facebook page also post to your twitter account.

2. If you're more active on twitter... http://apps.facebook.com/selectivetwitter/pages

Adding the selective tweets app on facebook allows you to connect with your twitter account by placing the hashtag #fb at the end of your tweets. This allows you to post only "selective tweets" to facebook rather than every single tweet.

REMEMBER: Don't do both. chose one or the other (I found this out the hard way) or you will have repetitive posts on twitter. Just choose one. Or consider using a 3rd party like Sprout Social or Hootsuite to manage your social media platforms.

HootSuite allows you to connect with and post to multiple platforms and choose which ones to post to! Below you will see my Hootsuite toolbar where I can send a post to twitter, facebook or linkedin. visit http://hootsuite.com/ to get started!


(& feel free to comment any other social media integration tips or software you're using too!)

  1. Just wanted to add... Trying Hootsuite & there you can add multiple social platforms and post to all. Its a great feature that doesn't create redundancy.

  2. I use tweetdeck. Tweet deck allows me to see multiple twitter accounts (because I manage one for my sorority) and all my other social media accounts.

  3. That's great Briannaow. I only have 1 twitter account for Social NetCom, but this would be helpful if you ran an agency or had multiple accounts. Does anyone know if Hootsuite has the same capability?

  4. The practice of coaching is expanding rapidly, yet the process and impact of coaching is seriously under-researched.

  7. Build content by using functions on WordPress and Twitter and others to automatically repost your content to LinkedIn. When you yourself have additional content - for instance a contact newsletter then you can post links to those outside sites with a catchy title to seize attention (when posting links use to create shorter links rather than using long cumbersome urls that go on for half a page).
