How to Unlink Your Twitter and Facebook Accounts

Have any of you grown annoyed by having your Facebook account linked to your Twitter account? I sure did. It's annoying clicking on a link on Twitter, only to be redirected to the person's Facebook page whee you then had to click on another link to actually get somewhere of interest. (note: if you're trying to get your tweets to stop appearing on your Facebook profile, click here.

I hated myself for subjecting my followers to that, but I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to unlink my Facebook and Twitter accounts. I later found out that lots of my friends were having the same problem.

So here's the solution:


First of all, log into your Twitter account (at twitter.com), NOT your Facebook account. Next, click on Settings, then Connections. Where you see the Facebook icon, simply click on "revoke access."

Now that wasn't so hard, was it?

My apologies to all my followers on Twitter for months of annoying Facebook tweets!
