How to Link Twitter to Facebook Easily?

I primarily use Facebook and so I first thought of looking for a way in which you could link Facebook with Twitter. I was pretty sure that there must be some application, which could do this for me. So, here is a simple guide on how to link Twitter to Facebook status.

You will obviously need an account on Facebook and Twitter to be able to connect the two together. I assume that you know There is a special Facebook application that lets you link Twitter to Facebook. To locate the application, firstly, you must sign in to Facebook. In the search box at the top, type 'Twitter'. You will immediately see some results displayed in a drop down list. Select the Twitter application from all the search results and click on it. The Twitter application page will open.

On the page, hit the button which says - 'Go to application'. Like all other Facebook applications, this one too, will ask for permission to access your personal data. Allow access to get connected with the application. Once you do that, another page will open that will be a log in page to your Twitter account. To gain access to your Twitter account via this Facebook application, you will have to enter your Twitter log in name and password. Once you do that, you will gain access to an interface which lets you tweet directly via Facebook. This is made possible because of the Facebook API (Application Programming Interface).

If you want your Twitter updates or tweets to be simultaneously posted as your Facebook status messages, click on the link on top right, which says 'Allow Twitter to Update Facebook Status'. Once you allow for the updates, the application will directly post every one of your tweets on to your Facebook account. This ends this short tutorial on how to connect Twitter to Facebook.

I searched a lot for information on how to link Twitter to Facebook fan page, but I found no way in which you could do that. Neither did my search for how to link Twitter to Facebook group yield any results. I guess for sharing stuff on Facebook pages, you have to use the Facebook interface.sites like Facebook take a bit of time to get used to, but you will get a hang of it eventually, with practice.

Now that you know how to link Twitter to Facebook, waste no more time and get it done. Now you can communicate with your Twitter followers and Facebook friends simultaneously! It rescues you from the tiring task of updating your Facebook and Twitter status simultaneously.
