I’m a fairly active person on twitter and Facebook. The challenge though is that I have a very different group of friends on the two applications.
I did have it setup to allow twitter to update my Facebook status whenever I updated twitter itself. I thought it was really handy, you know killing two birds with one stone.
The challenge was that there were a number of my friends who had no clue what twitter was and I think were overwhelmed with the amount of status updates they were seeing of mine come across the system. So? I decided to let one of the aforementioned birds live and only kill one of them at a time.
The second challenge that arose from that decision is trying to figure out how to get twitter to stop updating Facebook.
Here’s How to Tell Twitter to Stop Updating Facebook
- Select twitter in your Facebook applications
- Click on the "Settings" link in Facebook and you’ll see an option for "Twitter Settings". Select it.
- The Edit Twitter Settings panel displays and gives you all the options you can set for the relationship between twitter and Facebook.
I just selected the option to "Never publish any stories from Twitter" and left the application installed just in case I change my mind later.
