Connecting Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and YouTube

It's been so long since the last time I posted "tricks" labelled post. This time we're going to find out how to connect Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and YouTube each other. You know that the four social networks are so essential in our daily lives. Some of us use more than one of them. Two, three, or sometimes four. We do know it. But, we often feel lazy to open them all in one same time. You can imagine how our browser could be, while they all are opened. It's gonna be messed up, isn't? Hard to gaze at.

Someday you might think to post a status or comment or tweet, but it (the status) is going to be updated and shown in other accounts. For example: you tweet in Tweeter, then you want your tweet to be shown in your Facebook account. Here, we're try each possibility to do so for those four social networks.

1. Connecting Twitter and Facebook

• Log in to your Facebook account!
• Do searching with query "twitter"! After doing this you'll find third party application by Twitter.
• Then let this app to be used in your Facebook account by clicking "allow"!
• The rest is gonna be so easy, just by following further instruction needed.
• Next, you need to check the box of "Facebook Profile" to allow Twitter to post update to your wall.
• The last, you will see the next window 

You can see that there's a statement where "Your Facebook & Twitter accounts are connected!" After all, your tweets will be updated also in your Facebook, but it might not be the same vise versa. It means that your Facebook status will not be updated in your Twitter timeline. It's a single direction telecommunication.

2. Connecting MySpace with Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube

These are gonna be easier because we just find all links to connect the four accounts in one page only.

• Sign in to your MySpace account first!
• Point to "My Stuff" drop down menu to find "Account Settings"! Then click it!

• In settings you will find "3rd Party Syncing". It's a sub-menu of "Stream Settings" in bottom left corner. Then click it!

• In this 3rd Party Syncing, you'll be offered to link your MySpace to any other four accounts: Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo, and YouTube.
• You just need to click and follow the Sync button to make links with other accounts.
• By clicking, the new tab/page will be opened for you, which will bring and direct you to each account you mean. Of course, you need to log in or sign in first. Each operation is so simple and easy to trace.
• After all, you'll see your sync status that it's stating whether your accounts synced already.
• Between MySpace and Twitter, your sync is bidirectional. It means that your tweet will be shown in your MySpace status, and vice versa: your status will also be able to show in your tweet. Between MySpace and Facebook, you only have single-direction communication, where your MySpace status will be shown in your Facebook status, but not vice versa. It's same with sync between Twitter and Facebook. Between MySpace and YouTube, you also find single-direction communication, where your video upload and comment will be shown or updated in your MySpace status - not vice versa.
• The character of communication direction, can be seen on the window below.

From things we've done, we will have known that Facebook is the most flexible site among the four. It can accept and show all tweets and statuses from Twitter and also MySpace. The status update from Facebook cannot be shown in Twitter and MySpace. It's probably caused by unsupported apps yet - provided by the last two sites. I've also found no way to sync Facebook and YouTube.

That's all for this time. Happy trying!
