I seem to recall reading somewhere that Facebook only checks your Twitter every thirty minutes (or so).

I'm not twittering that much to have this issue, so I'm quite happy with this new additional functionality.

Using each separately lets you cater more to that website's specific users or features.

Linked together, the things you post on Twitter automatically post on your Facebook Page.While updating your Facebook page on Facebook itself is recommended, many businesses will still prefer to use a social media management tool for the sake of productivity and ease of use.This post will show you six tools that social media experts and marketing agencies use to update their Facebook pages.Before we get into third-party tools and applications, I want to suggest that you use Facebook itself to update your Facebook page for the following reasons.Edge Rank Facebook uses an algorithm called Edge Rank to determine which updates are shown in your fans’ news feeds.If the contact doesn't share an email address, their information won't update on your device.For example, on Facebook, you can check a person's About page to see whether they share an email address.With the help of an app that can combine your Facebook and Twitter accounts, however, you only have to post once to reach both websites at the same time.Several apps exist, each having slight differences.The only reason I'm not thrilled with it is that I am having Twitku flashbacks.Twitku allows you to post once and then have the message distributed via both Twitter and Jaiku.You can choose which sites receive your updates through Hoot Suite's privacy and customization options.You can also schedule regular posts to be made automatically with no further action on your part.Posting on Facebook and Twitter can be done via your i Phone.
