Post Facebook Updates to Twitter

It's not as simple if you want to update Twitter from within Facebook, but there are a couple of options available. You can easily update your Twitter account from your Facebook fan page, but to do so from your personal profile will take a little bit more effort.

Twitterfeed

In order to post your Facebook status updates to Twitter, you will need to find your status update RSS feed. To do this, go to your notifications page by clicking See All Notifications.

Right click Via RSS and click Copy Link Address.

You're going to slightly alter the link – the part of the link that reads 'notifications.php' should be replaced to 'status.php' while the rest remains the same. In TwitterFeed click on Create a new feed and use the altered RSS feed from Facebook.

In the advanced settings, for Post Content, select 'title only' and for Update Frequency, 'Post up to 1 new update at a time,' and make sure that 'Post Link' is unchecked.

Authenticate your Twitter account and all status updates will now be automatically pushed from Facebook to Twitter.

The tweet will also include your Facebook name which is less than ideal, but may be a small price to pay for the automated service.
