Facebook Page updates can now be posted on Twitter automatically!

Social networking giant Facebook has announced that they are soon going to enable Facebook Page operators to automatically post updates to the respective Twitter accounts.

Facebook engineering intern Michael Gummelt said in a message to users of the service: “Twitter was a natural next step to link with Facebook Pages because it is a powerful tool for broadcasting short messages widely. Public figures, musicians, businesses and organizations of all types who’ve created Facebook Pages often want to share a status update, a photo or an event with as many of their supporters as possible. Celebrities may want to share personal news or charities may want to put out calls for help to both their Facebook fans and their Twitter followers, all at the same time. If you manage a Facebook Page, you now will be able to decide whether to share updates with their Twitter followers. You also will be able to control what type of updates to share: status updates, links, photos, notes, events or all of them.”

Facebook and Twitter remains two of the most popular social networks on the web. Facebook has been trying to emulate the feature set of Twitter in the recent times. They recently acquired FriendFeed service which is similar to Twitter. They also launched Facebook Lite which also resembles Twitter streams.
