Update Facebook from elsewhere

Posted by Jacque on August 11th, 2009

facebook-worldI was attracted to this Mashable post about how to update Facebook from other sources.

Although I’ve had a Facebook account for quite awhile, I pretty much ignored it until recently.  Neither had I felt any compulsion to get on the Twitter bandwagon.  Then, in circumstances I won’t bother to describe, I started to get interested in both.  Now I have incorporated both sites into my routine, although I don’t necessarily update or tweet on a daily basis.

I’m finding that many of my Facebook friends are sharing interesting experiences and photos these days, and people whose daily activities I like to hear about are using Twitter; some are doing both.  Combined with my recent acquisition of the MyTouch and some future travel plans, I had reason to begin looking for alternative ways to use both Facebook and Twitter when I am away from my home computer.  Enter Mashable.

The post includes ways to update Facebook from Firefox, from Twitter, using text messaging, and from several Facebook-provided mobile options.  Depending on how you look at it, you have multiple options to keep up your social connections, or, you will find it even harder to break away from them.
