Facebook to Let Users Update Twitter Accounts From Its Site

17.09.2011
Facebook is becoming more user-friendly with Twitter as it tries to step up its game and defend against the growth of full-featured Google+.

People with accounts on both Facebook and Twitter have been able to update them both simultaneously for a long time -- but from Twitter to Facebook, and not the other way around. That’s about to change.

Facebook says it will soon let you send your status updates to Twitter, a feature it previously only offered for the Facebook pages curated by businesses, bands, celebrities and other public figures. Soon, average users will be able to update both social networks at once from Facebook, says .

The upcoming feature is part of Facebook’s new Subscriber functionality, which lets you adjust the amount and type of activity you see from friends, follow the public updates of people on Facebook who are not your friends and opt-in to share your public updates with people you don’t know but who might be interested in you.

The latest news likely is meant to coincide with F8, the Facebook Developer Conference, which will be held Sept. 22 in San Francisco.

Wanna get started once the feature is rolled out? Here’s how you do it, according to Facebook’s September update of its document.
