Why Send Your Facebook Page Updates To Twitter

Should you syndicate your Facebook Page updates to Twitter? Many debate the value of sending updates automatically from one social platform to another. While there are some syndications I advise against,  I highly recommend syndicating your Facebook Page to Twitter. This post has my three top reasons for sending your Facebook Updates automatically to Twitter, and a step by step tutorial on how to set up your Facebook to Twitter Syndication.

Syndicating your Facebook Page updates to Twitter offers several advantages for Facebook Page admins including:

1. Facebook Syndication Brings New Active Facebook Fans. Skillfully syndicating your Facebook Page Updates to Twitter can draw new Facebook fans to your page who are used to being interactive. Facebook pages need active Fans to succeed with organic reach.
2. Facebook Syndication Allows Longer Messages. Skillfully syndicating your Facebook Page Updates to Twitter can allow you to post longer messages that Twitter friends can access by following the link back to Facebook. Basically a form of the Twit Longer App except it drives traffic to your Facebook rather than a third party App.
3. Facebook Syndication Save Time. Skillfully posting on Facebook and having it appear on Twitter simultaneously is a big time saver.  However, do NOT simply syndicate your Facebook to Twitter and leave it. Twitter audiences are very social and appreciate interaction. You need to show up in person on a regular basis.

If you choose to syndicate your Facebook Page updates to Twitter, you will need to remember this syndication is in place when you post to Facebook to get the most out of your Facebook messages.

Twitter for iPad Users Frustrations Plus Kudos!

Twitter for iPad has some advantages over Twitter for Desktop version. However, using Twitter for iPad frustrates some users so much, they want to be able to use the standard Desktop version. Here is my two cents worth on the topic, along with some handy tips.

Twitter for iPad Good Points

Ummm... Let me get back to you on that.

Twitter for iPad Troubleshooting

As you may, or may not know, I've been working from an iPad these last few months discovering its capabilities & inabilities. I regularly update numerous social media sites, one of which is Twitter. Unfortunately Twitter for iPad has some problems that are increasing search engine queries for Twitter for Desktop. Hmmmmm... makes you wonder...
Problems with Twitter for iPad include:
• Twitter for iPad does not support list creation
• Twitter for iPad does not offer Password Recovery
It would be simple for Twitter to place a link on the Twitter for iPad APP that would take people to Twitter for Desktop is it there? NO!
After endless searching through help forums, Google searches, and using other search engines, I discovered Sean, another blogger had also searched endlessly for the answer. Sean had tried the following searches with no sucess:

iPad switch Twitter mobile desktop – Nope.

iPad change Twitter desktop view – Nope.

iPad Safari switch Twitter view – Nope.

iPad switch between standard and mobile Twitter – Nope.

iPad change view Twitter standard mobile – Nope.

iPad change from Twitter mobile to desktop – Nope

Luckily for me,and you, Sean finally found the link by using Firefox on another computer.
Here is the magic link from Sean for everyone stuck with mobile Twitter :
Mobile.twitter.com/settings/change _ui
Thanks Sean!

Hope this helped!

Now it's your turn-What are your Twitter For iPad thoughts? Love it? Hate it?
