The most common way that people broadcast Facebook updates elsware on the web is by installing the Twitter Application for Facebook. The disadvantage of this is that once you sync the Twitter application with your Facebook status you cannot choose which tweets also post as status updates.  With the Twitter app for Facebook it is all tweets to facebook, or nothing.

Selective Twitter provides a simple solution to this dilemma.  I will start off by saying that Selective Twitter is the simplest Facebook application I have ever encountered.  Adding the application is a simple one step process that involves you entering your Twitter user name.  And that’s it!

Once you have followed this one step process simply post #fb at the end of any Tweet and the Tweet will also post as a Facebook Status Update.

Broadcasting your Facebook Status beyond Twitter

For social media butterflys there is another solution called Ping.fm that allows you to post updates to Twitter and Facebook, and also to over 30 other social media Websites.

Once you join up with ping you can add thedifferent social websites you belong to, including Wordpress and Blogger blogs, and choose to broadcast your message to certain sites, or to all of your networks at once.

Ping.fm is used by people like @ChrisPrillo, @Mashable, and myself.  I can personally testify to the simplicity and effectiveness of Ping.fm

Want to Broadcast more than just a Status Update?

A service that allows you to broadcast not only status updates, but also content, is called Pixelpipe.

Pixelpipe’s motto is “Free your content” and they already support over 60 services and counting.

Conclusion

The above are just three ways to move alot of content on facebook and across the web, with little effort, and certainly there are many more.

What are your experiences and thoughts about the above services and others that are out there?
