Automatic Backlink Tools

There once was a time when our Facebook friends wanted nothing to do with our Twitter updates. Now that Twitter is growing at an astounding rate and rounding the mainstream bend, more of our Facebook friends have developed a fancy for Twitter themselves, and it’s becoming commonplace to highlight our tweets on our Facebook walls.


If you’re new to Twitter, or just haven’t followed the Twitter to Facebook trend in recent months, we’ve found a few quick and easy ways to turn your tweets into status updates. From auto-updating your Facebook status, to more calculated updates, we think these five ways to share Twitter updates with Facebook will satisfy those of us with a predilection for maintaining dual social presences.


Automatic Backlink Tools


Ping.fm
Ping.fm is site that lets you update over 30 social network and web 2.0 sites (including Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, Tumblr, Blogger.com, WordPress.com, Fickr, Typepad blogs, Ning, identi.ca, Friendfeed, Brightkite, Multiply) at the same time. Input your message at Ping.fm and then “ping” it to all the sites. Some sites have a 140 character limit like Twitter so you can only post status updates with URL links. Others let you make blog type posts with anchor text backlinks.


Twitterfeed
If you enter an RSS feed at twitterfeed.com will update multiple Twitter accounts, status.net sites (like identi.ca – see my list of status.net sites), Facebook and Hellotxt.com accounts when ever that feed is updated. Since this works from an RSS feed you can use to announce updates on your blog, YouTube Channel, Twitter account, Tumblr or anything account that has an RSS feed.


Posterous
When you update your Posterous account you can have it automatically syndicate the posts to web 2.0 sites including Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, WordPress.com, identi.ca, Blogger.com, LiveJournal and Xanga. You can even update Posterous via email and trigger the syndication process.


Hellotxt
Hellotxt is similar to Ping.fm in that you can update many social networking sites and web 2.0 sites from one place. You can update over 50 social networks and web services. You can use twitterfeed.com to update Hellotxt automatically when you update your blog or any other site with an RSS feed
Lifestreaming sites


Lifestreaming sites aggregate many of your social network and web 2.0 sites in one place. Basically you can add your accounts like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Delicious, Flickr and many many more and the lifestream site will pull all updates from any of those sites to that site with provides a backlink to our accounts and your updates (basically backlinks to your backlinks on auto pilot).
