Hooking up with Facebook  

 

 The Gleanr team is aiming toward a custom Facebook app, but meanwhile it's easy to automatically refresh your Facebook status and update your social networks with information you've discovered or created, and they should know about.  

SET-UP

  1. If you haven't already done so, link Gleanr with your Twitter account using in the Connections area of your Personal Profile (see the How To for this).
  2. Go to "Home" and click on the Settings icon (gear symbol) of the channel you'll use to update your Facebook status. Go to Broadcast Settings and click "Add myself to broadcast list" to activate your Twitter account on this channel.  Add the hash tag "fb" to this setting.
  3. Open your Facebook account and go the Selective Tweet Status application to hook up your Twitter account to your Facebook status feed.

You're done!  Now whenever you discover or think up something that's important to your Facebook friends, just click to glean it!   The active Gleanr link in Facebook will bring them back to full contents of your glean and your channel.

Could it be perhaps that the way your Twitter and Facebook accounts are linked is that your Twitter account gets updated with your facebook status updates? This is to do the opposite, and for that, you have to add the "Selective Tweet" app on Facebook. Simply search for the application and follow the installation and configuration instructions.

I was not able to do this. I have a Facebook. I have a Twitter. They are linked. There was no "selective tweet status" under Application Settings. There was only Twitter.
