You can now update your Twitter account every time you update your LinkedIn account. If you aren't familiar with LinkedIn, it is the top social networking site for business professionals. It is similar in concept to Facebook...only instead of reading about people doing laundry or eating a sandwich, you can actually have intelligent business-oriented conversation with potential referral sources or clients.
Like any social networking web site, it is critical that you log into your LinkedIn account and update your status often. The more involvement you have with the site, the more effective it will be for you for generating business. Unlike Twitter, where the MAIN thing is posting your updates, which really doesn't require you to log into the Twitter web site, with LinkedIn, you actually need to log into the site to use it.
So if you're going to log into LinkedIn to update your status, you might as well update Twitter at the same time. Doing so is very simple. There is a little Twitter icon and button next to the status box that you click to integrate your account with Twitter. After adding Twitter, you can click a checkbox to turn Twitter on or off, in case there are some updates you don't want to appear in your Twitter account.
If you just use your Twitter account to talk about day-to-day stuff or nonsense, then none of this matters anyway. But if you are a business person looking to use Twitter for business (to generate leads or make connections), then start using LinkedIn, and use its Twitter integration feature.
