Many people wonder how to have your Twitter updates go to a Facebook Fan page. Its pretty easy. The basic strategy is to add a RSS feed to the Notes tab and let Facebook post naturally to your Page Wall.
1) Go to your Twitter page and click on your Profile so that you see only your updates. At the bottom of the right side you will see an RSS icon and "RSS Feed of <YourID> Tweets". You can right click and "Copy Link Location" or just click on it to view it and then copy the url up in the browser address field.
2) Go to Facebook and navigate to your Page. What we are going to do is add the Feed to a Notes tab which will automatically display on your Page Wall. If you havent created a Notes tab - do so now. Click on "Notes" and then on "Write a New Note" and then on the icon looks like a piece of note paper. (Yes Im confused too!). You should a "Notes Setting" and a link that says "Edit Import Settings". After you click on this - insert the url (rss feed) that you saved from Twitter. Then press the "Confirm" button. You should be good to go. Facebook will periodically get todays tweets and shove it out to your Fan Wall..
Ok Now you might ask - What if Im already feeding my blog to the Notes Tab? Well there is an easy solution. What has to happen is that you must use a RSS Feed Aggregator so that you specify a single feed to Notes.
1) Create an aggregate feed by using http://xfruits.com Just login and create an RSS aggregator. This is quite simple. Just add any number of RSS feeds. I just used the url to my blog and twitter pages and it seemed to figure it out. You can also use the Google Reader to create an aggregated feed.
2) Take the aggregate feed url and just place it into the Notes settings page as described above. voila
