We get it – you have both a Twitter and Facebook account and you’re too lazy to update each separately. What’s the obvious solution? Use Twitter for Facebook to automatically import everything you say on Twitter into your Facebook stream. The only problem is every @, # and RT ends up on Facebook, confusing your poor mother. You don’t want to do that to Mom, right?
SmartTwitter helps strip out all of the Twitter mumbo-jumbo so all the rest of your non-tweeting Facebook friends can finally understand what you’re saying.
SmartTwitter allows you to link a single Twitter account to your Facebook profile, posting whatever comes in on that Twitter account to your stream. By default, it automatically removes @replies, @mentions, retweets and #hashtags, though you can decide to allow any of these individually in the settings.
From the app’s description:
Smart Twitter was written out of the frustration with the existing Twitter-to-Facebook apps. They either copied everything, or required an arbitrary hashtag to post updates. It should be possible for a computer to figure out which Tweets should be copied to Facebook and which ones should remain on Twitter.
While copying your tweets to your Facebook may be considered lazy social media practice, there are many of us out there who do it nonetheless. If you’re one of the offenders, we strongly encourage you to check out SmartTwitter.
