Missing Facebook and Twitter integration

[trekgraham]

I loved posting to both Twitter and Facebook at once, why did they remove such a great feature.

I didn't use it that often, mainly because I had Twitter set up to automatically post tweets on facebook (which, of course, would result in double posts on facebook)...

I did find a sweet 3rd party app that will post simultaneously to Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn (if you like). It's called Multishare. It's free and it's well integrated with the system, appearing whenever I choose share from an app (browser, photos, rss feed, etc.). In the preferences, you also have the option to shorten links, share to clipboard (for pasting elsewhere, e.g., OneNote), and the Facebook integration lets you choose the audience (friends, public, etc.) at the time you post.

MultiShare | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)


I would prefer to have the functionality built in to the OS, but perhaps this is one of those things they felt 3rd parties could better maintain, relieving the Microsoft team of the burden of keeping up to date with changes on Twitter and Facebook.

I loved not having to open up a app to post a quick status

I didn't like it before WP 8.1 because I couldn't control the audience I share my posts with. It's way better this way. Plus, I have my Facebook and Twitter accounts synced with each other so if I post it on Facebook it automatically posts on twitter and vice-versa.

I find the Facebook app limited, yes you can choose who sees it but not share with group

Plus I used the app for the big posts, OS for posting my public stuff

Multishare is right there in the update list... I tap the Me tile, tap post update, tap Multishare instead of tapping Facebook, Twitter, or Linked In. Easy.

The latest FB app update allows you to choose any of the groups you've set up in FB. We could never do that from the Me tile.
