How to Connect Your Twitter and Facebook Account, and Vice Versa

You need to be present on the social networks to best connect with your fans. The most common social networks used are Twitter and Facebook and many people use both. However, you may find it challenging to juggle your blog and two networks. Connecting your two profiles makes things a bit easier for you as your updates on one social network simultaneously appear on the other- basically, you are virtually in two places at the same time. How about that? You can link your Facebook account to your Twitter account or vice versa, depending on which network you use more.

Connecting Your Facebook Account with Twitter

You can link your profile or Page to your Twitter account so that you can share your Facebook posts on Twitter. After you've linked your profile or Page, you can choose the types of posts (ex: status, photo) that you want to share on Twitter.

To link your profile or Page to your Twitter account:

Go to www.facebook.com/twitter
Click Link to Twitter next to your profile or the Page you want to link
Follow the on-screen instructions

To choose the types of posts that you want to share:

Go to www.facebook.com/twitter
Click Edit Settings below your profile or the Page you linked
Click to check the box next to the things you want to share on Twitter
Click Save Changes

Connecting Your Twitter Account with Facebook

Log in to the Twitter account you want to associate with your Facebook profile.
Go to your Settings menu's Apps tab.
Click Connect to Facebook.
If you are not already logged in to Facebook, then you will be prompted to enter your Facebook login credentials. Enter your credentials and click Log in to sign in to Facebook.
You will then receive a prompt explaining that Twitter will receive certain information from your Facebook account. In order to continue, you must select “Okay.”
You will then be prompted to select the privacy settings for who will see your Tweets and Retweets posted to your Facebook wall. It is set to friends by default.
Click “Okay” to complete the process.
Your Tweets and Retweets will now post to your profile Facebook wall and your username will be displayed there as well. @Replies will not be posted.

To connect your Twitter account to a Facebook page:

If you have a Facebook Fan Page, or are the admin of one, you can post Tweets and Retweets from your Twitter account to your Facebook Page.

Follow the steps above to connect to your Facebook profile.
If you have not already done so, visit your Apps settings and grant Twitter the “manage pages” permission for your Facebook profile.
In your Apps settings, Select the page you'd like to connect to.
When prompted, click to allow permission to post to the selected Facebook page.
