Readers of this blog will know that I have been re-organising my Twitter, Facebook and Google Buzz activities.
Part of this re-organisation involved setting up a FB fan page for the Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies, which in the few short weeks it has been live now has over 1,000 fans. (Thanks to all those who have signed up.)
There has been discussion in many quarters about whether to synch accounts with one another, ie whether you should send your Twitter feed to Facebook or vice versa. I did initially do this but ended up putting everything into a continuous loop (!), so I soon unsynched networks. It has also become clear from (online) conversations with individuals that many want discussions in the different networks to be maintained quite separately; Facebook fans/friends are often not interested in your tweets.
However, today I came across a new Facebook app from Involver that lets you put your Twitter stream on a separate tab on a Facebook page - for those who WOULD like to follow what you are tweeting about, within Facebook. This seems to be a good compromise, so I have set it up on my page. Let me know what you think.
And, if you'd like to do the same yourself, here is a useful guide to setting it up from Lynn&Justin.net: A Twitter tab for your Facebook fan page in 7 easy steps
