How To Unlink Facebook and Twitter

You may have made the mistake of linking your Facebook with Twitter when you signed up for the bird app. Unfortunately, this marriage of the two social networking sites can be quite irritating, especially when your Facebook feed gets clogged with Twitter updates. So it’s understandable why you’d want to divorce the two and return them to their single status. But how can you do that?

While both Twitter and Facebook are social interaction sites, the content base for each is quite different. So when tweets start filling up your Facebook wall, they might not make a lot of sense. The good news is that it’s easy to unlink the two services, so your posts stay on their intended site.

We’ll show you how to unlink Facebook and Twitter below, and we also have a method to delete existing Twitter posts from your Facebook wall if you want to start with a clean slate.
