Twitter to Facebook
September 1st, 2007
I have been a long time Twitter fan, and I am also am starting to muck around in Facebook… one of the points of redundancy is the status feature in FB. I’d rather just update Twitter and have that post to FB.
So, this am I whipped up some waffles for the kiddos while Holly was hiking. As they were making a mess, I made it happen and created a Twitter to Facebook app. I took some code I wrote for Brad a while back for pumping RSS content to Twitter. Then I ported some nifty code that updates one’s FB status; there is no API yet for this, but you can “leverage” the FB mobile endpoints. I am not sure that this is okay to do, but hey it is my account after all.
So now I update Twitter and it automagically posts an update to my FB status Very Sweet (see images below)! FYI: The Twitter screen shot below was taken from Tiny Twitter - it’s a client I created for getting Twitter on your mobile… that’s cool too!

The person who put up the page detailing how to update your FB status using the mobile endpoint was asked to take the page down (saw it on TechCrunch last week). I hope they give us an API method to make this happen, and then I can share the goodness too.
