How To Tweet Your Facebook Status

Part I – Find your Facebook status RSS Feed

 1. Login into Facebook  

2. Go to this link: http://www.new.facebook.com/minifeed.php?filter=11

3. On the bottom right of this page you’ll see “My Status” with a RSS icon next to it.  Click this link.

4. At this point, you should be at a listing of you statuses.  Copy the URL of this page. It should read something like this (but not this one): http://www.new.facebook.com/feeds/status.php?id=615109271&viewer=615109271&key=e351bebc8c&format=rss20

Part II – Set up and configure Twitterfeed

1. Set up an account on www.Twitterfeed.com. Twitter feed uses OpenID to log in. You can use your existing login info from sites like Google, AOL, Yahoo, or any others listed. 

2. Click “go to my twitter feeds (or create a new one)”.

3. Click “Create a new twitter feed”.

4.  Paste the  RSS URL (from Part I).

5. Uncheck “Include item link (if unchecked, sends tweet without the link)”. There are other options you can set. Change the “check for updates” to 30 minutes.

6. Click “Create” and you’re finished!

 Twitterfeed will check for updates every 30 minutes and publish your statuses to your twitter page.  It does take a bit (over an hour) for you first statuses to show up as tweets.
