Syncing Twitter And Facebook

In order to sync your school’s Twitter account with your school’s Facebook Page, just perform the following actions.

1) Search for “Twitter” in Facebook.

2) Click on the first “Twitter” application that shows up in the search results. (It’s made by Twitter itself.)

3) Click the “Go to Application” button on the left side of the screen.

4) Allow Twitter to access your profile by clicking the long gray button at the top of the page.

5) Select your school’s Page from the drop down options. Be sure not to leave it on your name, otherwise your school’s Twitter posts will be automatically added to your personal profile and not your school’s Facebook Fan Page. (In the example below I would select “Social Media Schools.”)

6) Now click the blue “Allow Status Updates” button.

7) You will then be prompted to log into your Twitter account (via the Twitter application inside Facebook).

Once you’ve completed that process, your Facebook messages will begin to show up in Twitter! But there’s one more step to send information from Twitter back to Facebook.

8). After you test out the Facebook to Twitter functionality by typing a message on your Facebook Page and clicking on “Update,” click on “Allow Twitter to Update Your Facebook Status”

9) Allow status updates from Twitter back to Facebook.

10) Check to see if it works, by logging into Twitter.com from a different browser window and entering a status message. Your message should, within a few seconds, automatically post to your school’s Facebook Fan Page.
