Managing your personal and professional identity: How to connect Twitter to Facebook and LinkedIn

Millions of us have discovered that sending and receiving tweets is an easy way to link us with friends, family, politicians and celebrities alike. What many may not know however, is Twitter's potential for linking them with other social media networks. Tweets can be forwarded to your Facebook and LinkedIn accounts with just one click, updating all networks simultaneously.

(For those of you who are new to the world of tweets, please click here for a brief but helpful tutorial on Twitter.)

Facebook is a space most often set aside for personal use, while LinkedIn is a tool used for professional organization and networking. Keeping the personal and professional separate is just as important in the online community as it is in the office. Selective tweeting is made simple in the following videos. This first video walks you through linking your Twitter account to your Facebook account.

Much like the first, this video offers step-by-step instructions for connecting Twitter to LinkedIn and is brief and to the point.

As the videos outline, once you have synced your applications, simply add hash tags to the ends of your posts on Twitter.

Now you have the option of updating your status on Facebook and LinkedIn from Twitter by adding #fb or #in or both to the end of your tweet.

It stands to reason that you would not want the same information that is hanging on your fridge at home to be tacked up onto an office bulletin board.With selective tweeting you can update your networks with ease, and still retain the all-important separation between personal and professional.

Please have a look at Caitlin, Roshni and Caterina’s posts for more information on this subject.
