One of my more popular blog posts is where I explain how to push your Facebook status to Twitter. When I wrote this, about two years ago, people were more likely to update their Facebook status than Twitter. My hack with TwitterFeed made it simple to push that status update to Twitter.

Times have changed since then and I find myself updating my status to Twitter and wanting to be selective about what I update Facebook with my Twitter status. Not because I am trying to  hide my Tweets from Facebook friends, just that all of my @ replies tend to be spammy within Facebook.

There are now many ways to update your Facebook status with your Tweets too. The first that came along was the official Twitter Facebook application. Installing it on your Facebook profile will update your Facebook status with any tweet you write. The problem with it though is it is quite spammy to your friends.

I now use two applications – Selective Twitter and Tweetdeck.

Selective Twitter by Andy Young allows you to select what Tweets go to your Facebook status by appending #fb to it the post. It allows me to choose what updates go to my less-geekier friends who have not yet made the move to Twitter. It also strips out the #fb hashtag from the Facebook status. I use this when I am sending a Tweet via a text message on my mobile phone.

Tweetdeck with Facebook Connect Pre-Release is  what I use on my computer. it allows me to choose when writing the post if I want it to go to Facebook by selecting a checkbox.  Bonus points for also displays the status updates of my Facebook friends too.

The both work great and are a great step in integrating my social experience on the web.
