"Twitter was a natural next step to link to Facebook Pages because it's a powerful tool for broadcasting short message widely. Posts from Facebook Pages are already public to everyone on Facebook and, with this feature, now will be public to everyone on Twitter," states the Facebook release.

The Twitter exporter tool is designed for Facebook Pages, as opposed to pages within personal Facebook profiles. Facebook has not indicated whether a similar tool will become available for personal Facebook accounts.

Facebook Pages are generally used to promote businesses, organizations and public figures. The new tool is already being used by The World Wildlife Fund, The Lance Armstrong Foundation's Livestrong page, actor-comedian Dane Cook, the NBA and the WNBA.

Those administrating Facebook Pages will have the option of selecting which types of information -- status updates, links, photos, notes or events -- they want to share with their corresponding Twittter account.

"Facebook Page administrators will be able to turn off the application for their page anytime they choose," states Facebook.
