How to Link your Facebook Account with Twitter and Vice Versa

November 4, 2012 By 10 Comments
facebook twitter

My Twitter account got linked to Facebook like a year or two ago and ever since, my tweets automatically appear on Facebook as status updates (with via twitter written under the posts). This lets me update my profile on both social networks at the same time. The only drawback was that only I could only send tweets to Facebook, I couldn't update my status on Facebook and then send it to Twitter as a tweet.

As you can post new topics from Wordpress to Twitter and Facebook using your RSS feed, it's a bit different for SMF because using the default RSS feed will not post new topics, but replies to topics. I was using SA Facebook plugin to accomplish this on my SMF forum but for some unknown reasons, the mod always stopped working after a while.
