I used to sync myTwitter and Facebookupdates using the Twitter application for Facebook. That meant updating the Facebook status more than 50-100 times a day(or even more!). Problem was, very few of my Facebook friends know what Twitter is and they found the frequent updates irritating. Some even labeled me a spammer. Well I do spam at times with my blog post notifications, but thats another story .  

So I uninstalled the Twitter application. After that my Facebook status updates became less and less frequent, sometime the status remained for days. This was a long time ago.

And today I thought of asking what other tweeps do, do they sync the updates, do they face the same dilema I’m in?

So I tweeted “How many of you sync Twitter updates with Facebook status update.. Non-twitter friends complain??”

While some said their friends don’t mind, there were others like me, with irritated friends. For those of you who are in a dilema, worry not. There’s another application which lets you update your Facebook status with only selected tweets.

Using the Selective Twitter Status application, now you can update your Facebook status with only those tweets that that you choose. So no more confusing, spamming and jargons for your Twilliterate friends.

All you got to do is add the application to your Facebook profile, give them your Twitter handle(password not required). And you are all set to rock and roll.

Next time you want to update your Facebook status with a particular Tweet, just add “#fb” at the end of your tweet, thats it. This pics will give you a better idea.

1) Post a tweet with “#fb” at the end.

2) Almost instantly, your Facebook status is updated.

So, if you are on an active twitterer and wants to update your Facebook status without spamming your friends, this is the way to go. 

I am happy I found this application, are you.

Btw you are more than welcome to add me as a friend on Facebook or follow Twitter.
