Hello all,
I thought I would tell you all how I use MSN Messenger to update my Facebook Status, which allows me to tell people what I am doing quickly and easily without logging into Facebook and being distracted too much.
OK first of all create a twitter account , if you dont know what twitter is, well its a service that is used to tell people what you are upto, just like the status section in Facebook.
Once you have created your Twitter account the next thing to do is to add an appliaction to your Facebook profile that allows you to update your Facebook status whenever you post an update to Twitter.
This application is called TwitterSync, simply follow the instuctions for TwitterSync and you will have this working in no time.
Now you have your Facebook Status syncronished to your Twitter status, you can post from your mobile phone to twitter using m.twitter.com or desktop widgets or whatever you prefer.
The final step to get Twitter to update your Facebook status is to use a service called Imified which is a MSN Bot that allows you to post to a various number of services including Twitter.
To get this to work and add “imified@imified.com” to your buddy list and send it a message to create a free account.
The bot should tell you all you need to know, but once logged in search for the twitter widget and configure it to your prefrences.
For me personally I have a shortcut setup so all I need to type to the Imified bot is
/twitter is very happy today.
Ok thats it in a nutshell, I hope some of you have found this quick run-through helpful, but I have one last thing to say if you start using Twitter you can obviously use my Twitter Umbraco package to allow you to display your latest Twitter/Facebook status on your own website.
