Tweet to Update FB Status

August 26, 2009 at 6:01 pm · Posted On Tools & Utilities

For the past couple of weeks, whenever I did a post on my blog, I use to add the URL as status to Facebook , Orkut and my gtalk.

Thanks to integration between facebook and Twitter, I was able to update my facebook and twitter in one shot. Just tweet the post and it will get automatically updated as your facebook status. It is not only blog posts but all your tweets.

For this to happen :

  1. You need to add twitter to your facebook account.
  2. Also use the option available in facebook for allowing twitter to update Facebook Status.

Thanks to Vijay for initiating this thought.

I tried searching for such an app for orkut. It does have some application but not a tight coupling like the one in FB.

    Ranjith,

    I used that application long back. Very nice one. Sad that Orkut hasn’t been able to provide one such application even though applications were launched long back.

    I later removed this application and now I use selective twitter application. The reason is I don’t want to flood my friends with unnecessary tweets / retweets / replies. So now while tweeting if I add a #fb at the end, then my status in facebook will be updated.

    Ramesh,

    Thanks for the comments. I will check the #fb option too. BTW Twitkut in Orkut seems to update the My Updates page and not the Staus of the Orkut.

    Cheers - Ranjith
