Social media is an important aspect of business networking in today's fast-paced world of Internet communication. A Facebook page is quickly becoming a normal way for many businesses to keep customers and clients in the loop, while communicating with Twitter is also increasingly common. Twitter and Facebook can be linked together to save time so that posts on a Facebook page post automatically to Twitter and vice-versa. Sometimes, however, your business needs may change or you may wish for more privacy in one account for some reason. If you want to turn off this cross-posting behavior, you can unlink Facebook and Twitter. You can also keep Facebook posts from appearing on Twitter while allowing Twitter to post to Facebook, and vice versa.
