Integrating twitter and Facebook: A manual
The choice of social software we use is a very personal choice. It is influenced by
identity, community, convenience and keeping in touch with the tribe. Therefore,
people commit to different networks and on the occasion when they briefly areexposed
to each other, it is helpful to explore ways of bridging those communication gaps. There
are Facebook applications that embed twitter in Facebook but the flow of
communication from Facebook to twitter is not so well provided for.
This manual contains instructions to facilitate communication between Facebook users
and their ‘tweeting’ friends on twitter.
Go to http://www.new.facebook.com/minifeed.php?filter=11
Right-click on the ‘My Status’ RSS feed
From the resulting context menu, choose ‘Copy Link Location’, ‘Copy Shortcut’ or
anything resembling those. This is the link any RSS harvester needs.
Since the object of the exercise is to get twitter to publish this RSS, you now need to go
to http://twitterfeed.com
Log in using an OpenID
Insert your twitter nick, your twitter password and paste in the URL of the RSS feed
that you had just copied from Facebook.
Adjust the settings to your satisfaction.
Wait.
