How to sync Twitter and Facebook Fan Page

September 28, 2009 4:16 AM

How do I sync a twitter account with a Facebook Fan Page? Please note that I am not asking about Facebook Personal Profiles but the Facebook Pages that organizations have. I want to be able to update twitter by updating the Facebook Page Wall. I also want to be able to update the Facebook Page Wall by updating Twitter. I have tried both the Twitter and Selective Twitter Applications for Facebook but neither of them work.

Best answer: When I go to facebook.com/twitter, it gives me the option to link the fan page that I manage to twitter. (Well actually, since it's already linked it gives me the option to unlink or edit settings. But that's how I linked them originally.)

Response by poster: Thanks misskaz, that links Facebook to Twitter. Now I just need something to link Twitter to Facebook. That is, some application so that any update to Twitter sends the update to my Facebook Page.

Tweetdeck does simultaneous updates to Facebook and Twitter.

Selective Twitter Status does work for fan pages (at least it worked for me). There's a bit of a delay (4 minutes or something), but updates do show up. If you go to the settings page for the Application, there is a tab for Fan Pages (you must be an admin). I am only updating my fan page (not my personal page). Maybe you are trying to update both and there's a conflict? You do have to add #fb to all tweets, though.
