Like many of you, I use Twitter to update my Facebook status. I don’t protect my Twitter updates, but some people chose to. Those of you that prefer to control who views your tweets may have trouble getting the Facebook Twitter application to work the way that you want to. Here’s a little hack from a friend that’ll let you keep your privacy and link accounts.

1. Uninstall the Twitter facebook application.

2. Change your privacy settings in Twitter from protected to unprotected.

3. Add the Twitter app back into Facebook.

4. Change your privacy settings back to protected in Twitter, and you’re done.

This’ll allow you to update your status just fine in Facebook using Twitter while still shielding your Tweets from random unwanted Twittering eyes. Enjoy.
