Church’s Twitter Page Talks to Facebook Fan Page

Facebook Fan Pages, which are for organizations, causes, companies … and churches, are different than your normal Facebook page. These special Fan Pages don’t play nicely with many of the usual ways of communicating back and forth with Twitter. But SouthPoint Church needed them synchronized for the Daily Bible Reading, prayer requests, and other important announcements to send out to their people.

I’ve just finished synching them, and they can still post only to Twitter or only to Facebook. It will allow personal interactions on one social site or the other, while maintaining the information, prayer, and devotional references each day.

Next project – to automate the daily Bible reading link so that it doesn’t have to be entered manually each day.

Social Sync for My Design Blog

I keep a blog to display projects which are underway, to post scrapbook pages, to let people know when I’ve just turned something in, or just to share something cool. It’s called deb@design.

But these days, a blog just isn’t enough. So I took on two of the hottest social media sites, Twitter and Facebook, and now all three are synced.

I make one blog post, with an image, a full story, links, extra images, anything that is needed. My Twitter page is automatically updated with the title and part of the first sentence, then a link to my blog. My Facebook page is also automatically updated, as well, again, with a link back to my blog.

I can still make individual postings that are exclusive to Twitter or Facebook as needed. I LOVE it!
