Twitter has made some significant improvements to its Facebook integration including support for business pages, images, and links to hashtags and usernames.
“We have fixed many issues with the Twitter for Facebook integration, including the ability to post to Facebook Pages, and added some new features,” a Twitter spokesperson explained to The Next Web. “The updated Twitter for Facebook integration now includes additional rich media experiences related to the first photo, URL, @mention or #hashtag in the cross-posted Tweet.”
Those who have already linked their accounts will need to update the connection via their Twitter profile settings page.
“The resulting integration is pretty impressive. When a tweet includes a photo, for example, the corresponding Facebook status update includes a thumbnail and link to click through to view the full photo, and other images from the user, on Twitter,” notes TNW.
The post suggests that the integration may be significant in that it is likely to send many of Facebook’s 900 million users to Twitter. Additionally, it could leave Google+ in the cold: “The Google API requires services to reciprocate the data share and, since Facebook does not, a disconnect between two of the world’s most influential sites — which know more about Internet users than almost any others — has developed.”
