Wordpress, Facebook & Twitter in harmony?

What's the easiest way to do this? Is there a plugin that will scan what you post on Wordpress and post it on Facebook & Twitter? Or would I have to use something like RSS Graffiti to do it?

Yep. There are plugins for both, some good some bad. Its usually a case of finding what works best for you. Both FB and Twitter have there own widget code that can be used.

I've found that 'Sharepress' which will post your blog post to Facebook (although you do have to make an app in Facebook to do so - but the instructions are there and easy to follow). As for twitter I've found that 'WP to Twitter' is the one that works best for me, instantly posts the title and link to twitter and you can customise the message preceding as well.

I use 'add link to facebook' and 'WP to twitter'. Both seem to work well and allow you to customise the output. Add link to facebook is especially good as it also synchronises any comments made on both facebook and wordpress.

Hashtags don't work on facebook so why would you to intergrate them all? I tried importing my facebook friends into Twitter but it couldn't find any of them lol

For the simple fact that when you are on Twitter you can push status updates to Facebook.

It's all about integration.

PS AZZA, what's your link?

Why would you want to integrate everything? then you're just repeating yourself on 3 different websites

That's the whole point. One update does them all.

As people have answered, I really don't understand what you're getting at Jay794.

People who follow me on Twitter / the site on Twitter will get updates if they're on there. Some people don't have Facebook in updating as much as Twitter when they're on the move etc. I haven't even mentioned hashtags, just want a way of updating for all 3 simultaneously.

Thanks for the suggestions though, will check them all out after tomorrow's festivities. Follow and 'like' the links in my sig by the way.
