Facebook meet Twitter, Twitter meet Facebook

Are you tired of having to update your status in Facebook?

Why not let Twitter do it for you!

Facebook and Twitter are very compatible with one another. They met online, so naturally it’s a match made in heaven. Just a few steps and you will be on your way to update bliss.

1. Create a Twitter account and follow me

2. Log in to your Facebook account

3. Click on the Applications link within Facebook and scroll down to find the Twitter icon

4. Follow the instructions and you are set!

There are some options for using Twitter. You can use it directly within Facebook or you can go to the Twitter website to update your status. There are also some third-party downloads that are good. I like to use Twhirl, of if you use Firefox for your internet browsing you can download Twitterfox.

What are the advantages of using Twitter along with Facebook? You can use your phone interactively to see what your friends are up to and simultaneously update your status, or just keep it on your computer. Plus, it’s just fun! There’s some language that you will need to familiarize yourself with in regards to Twitter or you might feel a bit out of the loop at first.
