Twitter and Facebook Integration

Facebook applications to make your twitter life a more manageable one.

“If I send a lot of tweets in a short time period then my Facebook status updates quickly. Am I really that busy?”

“...a lot of my friends on facebook don’t use twitter. My frequent status updates and retweets made no sense to them at all.”

“does it really take me that long to update my Facebook status manually? No. And I don’t even have to login to do it – I can set us SMS for my account and update my status via my cellphone”“updates will be in sync”

No Facebook for one month

Why i’ve given up on Facebook for a month.“I’ve had a love/hate relationship with Facebook.”

“The daily ritual of checking Facebook, documenting the happenings of your life via a status update”“We’re now starting to rely on Facebook and other social media tools to build our relationships with people, ‘Face to Face’ interactions are fast becoming the exception rather than the norm.”“Can we really apply ‘Fast Food’ principles to building relationships?”

“I’ve found it’s becoming harder to separate Facebook and the real world with each passing day!”

Danger of Reliance

Reliance on Facebook is dangerous in more ways than one.“For those that suffer the wrath of Facebook, it can be devastating.”

“Having your Facebook account shut down is a similar experience to losing a cell phone.”

“Personally, my reliance on Facebook has grown exponentially. I now add business contacts and friends and frequently rely on Facebook for their contact information.”“...if by some fluke your account is canceled, you will be screwed.”

“For the time being, all you can do is manually backup the contact information of your Facebook friends. This is going to have to change as Facebook’s user base grows...”

WE ARE DOOMED

The Reliance

• We are going to become more dependant based on the rise in online software.

• Children will become more technologically surrounded. “Toys” will become hardware that runs with software. Albeit devices such as the wii fit.
