FB Page Admins Can Post Updates to Twitter

Facebook is in the process of releasing a feature for Facebook Pages that allows the page's admin to automatically post updates to Twitter simultaneously. The feature is only for Pages and not for individual profiles. 

"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," saysFacebook's Michael Gummelt. "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, and you also will be able to control what type of updates to share: status updates, links, photos, notes, events or all of them," explains Gummelt. "If you have multiple Pages, you will have the option to link each of those Pages to different Twitter accounts."
