Following the suggestions on Dave Jeyes’s website, I’m attempting to integrate Twitter, Facebook, and this blog, which uses WordPress. My goals are (1) when I post a new blog entry it shows up in both Twitter and Facebook, and (2) when I tweet or update my Facebook status it appears on the other, but not on the blog.
For goal #1 I installed Twitter Tools on this blog, which, with my settings, should post a tweet whenever I post a blog entry. I specifically chose not to have my tweets create blog posts. What I’ll find out shortly is how much of that post is tweeted.
For goal #2 I installed the Twitter application on Facebook, which will cross post my tweets/status updates. What I’m hoping/expecting is that this app will also update facebook when a tweet is sent from the blog post.
So, did it work? There should now be a tweet and a Facebook update linking to this post.
Hey Justin,
I’m glad you were able to use my method to connect your online status messages with your blog. I’m a big iPhone fan too!
It was a pretty easy setup, and it works almost perfectly. I noticed that while updating Twitter correctly updated Facebook, the opposite did not happen. Maybe I have a setting wrong in the app.
Haha. i love my iPhone to bits!
But after trying it out i found it irritating that all and sundry i tweeted ended up on facebook.
however, if you need another way that allows you to choose which tweets end up on your facebook check out this app:

If need be, i’ve found a tutorial here:

cheers 🙂
Twitter is very addictive. I like Twitter more than blogging. the messages are short and straight to the point.
i really love to use Twitter. i was addicted to Blogging before the birth of Twitter. Now i am addicted to Twitter.
I realized that I use my blog, twitter (if I ever use it), and Facebook very differently. I just deactivated these various integration steps.
