Thanks for the tips Lara. I checked out, and became a fan of, TRET on Facebook. Those tabs seem to work nicely.

Tried Twitter to Facebook and Facebook to Twitter on TRET Facebook page also and found both unsatisfactory so unlinked about a month ago. Found out through trial and error just like you did. You can use a product called Involver on Facebook to create a Twitter tab on the business home page and you can also have PDF, You Tube etc tabs. You get 2 tabs for free and more to “go Pro”. PDF one useful for e-books and whitepapers for fans. Oh, BTW I don't work for them just sharing.

Yes, simple is good Esther. Mix that with a good dose of patience and you're on the right track.

It's all a bit mind-boggling to me still at the moment, so simpler is certainly better in my opinion.

We did the same thing with our feed. As an alternative, we recently added our Twitter feed to its own tab. Still trying to figure out if this is ideal or not.

I don't think you are being cynical Peter. With the possibility of retweets, this type of arrangement has the potential to generate considerable amounts of traffic back towards the Facebook fan page.

Clumsy indeed – exactly why I too unlinked my accounts
