    Heys, not sure if this help’s but no harm posting. Had problems with selective posting and account mixups. Found my solution with this guy’s tutorial:

    http://cogito.faii.net/linking-facebook-to-twitter-tutorial/

    He details using this other app that helps post selectively only.

    However he says it doesn’t work if your twitter feed is on private/safe mode.

    Cheers and hope it helps!

    Right, so while Twitter can update Facebook, it doesn’t actually work the other way ’round. Facebook will not update Twitter.
