I’m an avid enthusiast of Twitter. I frequently tweet a few updates throughout the day, and often will reply to people’s tweets a few times each day too. Nothing extravagant. I’m not tweeting a hundred times a day, or anything ridiculous like that (at least not yet!). Without a bit of Twittering, I would feel a whole lot more disconnected, and really wouldn’t know what’s happening in the world around me, especially with my Twitterverse of Tweeple (Translations: Twitterverse=Twitter + Universe= All people I know on Twitter and Tweeple=Twitter + People= People who use Twitter!)
Now since using Twitter, and seeing how much time I spend on it, I’ve started spending less and less time on Facebook. So not wanting to be completely ignored by all my Facebook friends, I decided to link my Twitter Updates, to my Facebook Status Updates. At least that way people can see what I’m upto, and occasionally comment on thing I’m doing, or get a flavour of my life. The only problem is, most people on Facebook don’t really use the “Status Update” feature. Which means that my status updates, could potentially end up flooding other peoples Facebook Updates Stream.. Terrible I know! After all, who wants to know everything about you, all the time, on Facebook?? Yeah, not quite the same as Twitter..
So, if you, as a Facebook user, choose not to use Twitter as much, and really don’t want to see all your Twitter friends in Facebook pollute your news and updates stream, then here’s a solution for you.
Log into Facebook, and go to your feed preferences page : http://www.facebook.com/feed_prefs.php
Below the Volume Mixer type controls you’ll see the “Less About These Friends” box. Start putting your friends who use twitter too much, into this box.. That way, you’ll only see updates from your twitter friends, if nothing else is available.
Of course, if none of your other friends are doing anything, then it may still fill up with just twitter updates from your twitter friends, but hopefully that’s not the case :) Alternatively, just “de-friend” that person on Facebook, and join up twitter, to stay in touch with them :)
Hope this suggestion gets to the heart of your Twitter woes, you Facebook only users :) and if not, feel free to comment your feedback below this article, and I’ll see if I can find a better solution for you all!
Ok, back to Twittering I go!!
P.S. = Twitter hating Facebook users – feel free to share this article judiciously amongst all your fan clubs on facebook, it may help calm some of the Twitter Haters!
