Attach your Twitter account to your Facebook account.

Have you been updating your Twitter account, obsessively, only to leave your Facebook account needing some attention? There is an excellent application on Facebook that will allow you to connect the two accounts so that your Twitter account will automatically update your Facebook account. This application is very nice, in that it will allow you to keep your Facebook account from going stagnant, without having to log on 15-20 times a day for constant status updates.

To use this application, simply log into your Facebook account. In the top right corner, there is a search box. Type in Twitter, click search. The first application to show up is the official Twitter application. I prefer this one, as the others that I have tried, simply have not delivered as promised. Click on "View Application", this will take you to the fan page. Click on "Go to Application" under the Twitter photo.

The next screen to pop up will ask you if you would like to allow access to your Facebook account, click "Allow". The following screen will ask you to sign into your Twitter account, doing so will bring up your "Twitter Timeline". At the top right of this "Timeline" is a button that says "Allow Twitter to Update your Facebook Status", click. Click Allow Status Updates, on the next screen. If you have more than one Facebook account, it will give you the option to choose which account you would like to have updated by your Twitter account.

Viola! You are now updating your Facebook Status with every Tweet you post! Tweet on!!
