In Case Your Life Wasn’t Public Enough, Facebook to Integrate with Twitter
Facebook has begun rolling out a pretty major feature change, which gives users the ability to send their status updates to Twitter, somewhat of a rival service. According to the detectives over at TechCrunch, this functionality will be built-in directly to Facebook’s UI rather than having to install a separate app.
The new service takes advantage of Facebook’s recently launched URL shortener, which it uses when posting updates to your Twitter feed. It’s a pretty smart move by Facebook, who is looking to steer users back to the social networking site, as well as trying to become the third-party Twitter updater of choice.
This is something MySpace fans have already been able to do, and what’s interesting is that unlike MySpace, the data-exchange is one-way only. In other words, you can’t publish tweets to your Facebook status without the help of a third-party app.
