How To Get Facebook To Auto-Publish To Twitter

by Chad Alderson on December 8, 2008

I've been trying to figure out how to do this for a while now. I
just wanted Facebook to push a status update out to Twitter as a
"tweet". Here is how.

Prerequisites:

Steps:

  1. first you will need to grab your facebook status feed (RSS). You can find that here: http://www.new.facebook.com/minifeed.php?filter=11
  2. on the bottom right column under the heading "Subscribe to these
    Stories:", r-click on the "My Status" link and copy that URL to your
    clipboard
  3. log into twitterfeed and create a new feed subscription by clicking the "Create new twitter feed"
  4. paste that URL you copied into your clipboard into the field "RSS
    Feed URL", then hit the save button at the bottom of the page.

Wait about 30 min and your FB status will start showing up in Twitter.

Thus ends your nerd seminar for this evening.
