Syncing Your Status Across MySpace, Facebook and Twitter

If you’ve got multiple social media accounts, it might be hard to keep every account up-to-date when it comes to your status (and let’s face it, you’ll just feel all out of sorts if everything isn’t up-to-date).  There’s no magic button that will update both MySpace and Facebook at the same time, but you can set it up to update them all with one click by using an intermediary service: Twitter.

  1. If you haven’t already signed up for a Twitter account, get one.
  2. On your MySpace account, install TwitterSync.
  3. Now, on your Facebook account, install an app like Tweeter.
  4. Update your status on MySpace and sync it to Twitter.  Your status will update on Twitter, which then brings it to Facebook.  Instant harmony.

Obviously, a Twitter account is much more than just a bridge between two competitors, but it’s helpful here for just that purpose.
