Facebook Gives Twitter An App-Kicking

The story that broke yesterday about Twitter's Facebook app (which allows you to automatically follow your Facebook friends) didn't take long to dominate the social media news headlines.

It also didn't take Facebook long to slap the idea down.

Many social media junkies, myself included, were looking forward to seeing some real integration between the two social networking giants. However, the move by Facebook shows that this power couple is not going to happen anytime soon.

Twitter has yet to issue any sort of response, but my guess is that they won't be pleased with Mr. Zuckerberg. More importantly, we could see Twitter making more efforts to integrate other smaller social networks to offer some real competition between the two.
