Twitter Advertising on Facebook? No Thanks

Fan pages are exempt (from my understanding) because they're set up as a complete opt-in process; you have to sign up to their page to receive updates. So, in essence, you're signing up to ads and an email list if that's how a company or individual decides to use their fan page.

I have not, and most likely, will not sync the two. The 140 character max is something I don't have to deal with in Fb, so my posting are structured differently. Also, I tend to find Twitter posting on Fb kind of annoying, so I won't do that to my friends. They are two separate animals and should be treated that way.

Although not explicitly stated, I'm assuming that someone like Starbucks has a right to post a commercial update on their FAN page, correct? Although I'm sure users protect Facebook's stance against spam, another ulterior motive is that Facebook doesn't want to be put in a position of carrying ads for which it is not remunerated.

I sync my tweets and facebook. Unfortunately if I'm forced to choose I'll take Twitter over FB. Honestly most people I know on FB are on Twitter too.

I use Facebook a little, and I use Twitter a lot. I don't, however, sync them. Because I suspect that would be really annoying to see 100 updates a day from someone on Facebook...

I don't think that's who they're going after with this update, Jeremy. It's where you're clearly advertising without using Facebook's advertising models. People talk about their jobs, that's natural - but it's when you start saying "I ate Cereal X today and it was delicious" because you've been paid to that could cause the issue.I agree that it could be more specific, but maybe it's a cover-all approach that Facebook is going for. Besides, any ads or sponsorship that you might tweet, blog or even place on your Facebook account should already be disclosed by the person, no?

Too gray of a TOS update. Really vague and could potentially allow for status updates, besides Spon Tweets and Spon conversations, to be classified as commercial.If I post to social media as part of my job, is that commercial? Technically I'm getting paid for posting. If I'm a consultant and I'm talking about social media in hopes of attracting new clients, is that commercial? Technically, I'm using Facebook to build business relationships.

I really don't understand FB one day they are opening things up and everyone is aghast that this will be the killer that brings Twitter to it's knee's the next shutting out business LOL

Good look at the change Danny, many have not connected those dots yet :-)Great pic and re-design too!

When it comes to advertising, this becomes a mix-feeling between syncing the 2 accounts. I have yet signed up for any sponsored tweets etc and not planning to for the time being. Please no, I really dislike seeing more unnecessary info on already crowded networking site.

I hate seeing the #fb tagged Tweets and vice versa. All they do is tell me that the author is trying to spread content too thin and maximize imprints for the least amount of effort.

Part of me wonders if this is a direct "attack" on Twitter, Roger. The less the integration, the more people may choose one over the other?
