Connect Facebook and Twitter with IFTTT

In my everyday life I find that most people have a Facebook account to keep in contact with friends and distant relatives but it's not unusual for a particular person to choose not to use Facebook at all. In those situations I normally turn to Twitter to see if they have am account there. 9 times out of 10 people will use one of those two social networks. You can switch back and forth, posting your updates and sharing your pictures and links but did you know that it's possible to post the same thing to both accounts at once?

We'll start with a few time savers before we move on to the ins-and-outs or message sharing. If you want to find out more about the service you could check out their website or read my post about IFTTT from last week.
