You may have made the mistake of linking your Facebook to Twitter when you signed up for the Bird app. Unfortunately, this marriage between the two social networks can be quite irritating, especially when your Facebook feed is cluttered with Twitter updates. So it’s understandable that you want to divorce the two sites and return them to their single status. But how to achieve it?

Short answer: You can unlink Facebook and Twitter from either site. If you want to do it from Facebook, remove Twitter from the “Apps and website” section in the “Permission” section. From Twitter, disconnect the application from the “Security and account access” section in the “Settings and privacy” section.

Although Twitter and Facebook are both social interaction sites, their content is very different. So when tweets start filling your Facebook wall, they might not make much sense. The good news is that it’s easy to separate the two services, so your posts stay on the site they’re intended for.

We show you below how to unlink Facebook and Twitter. We also provide a method to remove existing Twitter posts from your Facebook wall if you want to get a fresh start.
