Hi J&L,
Thanks for the info.
I saw the LI to twitter option in LI. So I use that when the status is a good enough tweet. Since I didn't know my url in my facebook fan page, I don't think I included that in my LI profile. I'll check that one out once I 'get' the url, which has become elusive to me.
I have seen a twitter page idea...which I believe you to mean sort of a squeeze page just for twitter. So in the link area in the twitter profile, are you saying to use the squeeze page domain instead of the website business url where the facebook fan page sign up badge is more prominent? Or are you saying just create another twitter account specifically for twitter with business-only tweets?
There doesn't appear to be a place in fb to post a twitter url. Are you saying that the connection from twitter comes from tweets using the #fb hashtag? Or is there another place in fb to link twitter on a facebook fan page?
One more...is there a way to change the facebook fan page name or is that permanent?
Thank you for your help...this is terrific information.

My recommendation is that you use bit.ly to shorten the URL (although Facebook typically shortens it for you and I'm puzzled why they didn't this time). The following are some items you might keep in mind as you market your business, as well:
Create a LinkedIn page for your business. You can link to both Facebook and Twitter at LinkedIn, and since the objective for LinkedIn is professional as opposed to personal networking, more people will find you.
Create a Twitter page for your business. Update it daily (optimum) or weekly (bare minimum) with your current projects, thoughts on the VA industry as a whole, lead generation, anything that is pertinent to you on any given day, and any email marketing you may be doing. People will find you on Twitter, although it would be interesting to search and see if any other VA's have Twitter pages.
Post your Twitter link on your FB fanpage since Twitter will send any update on Twitter to your FB page (reducing the need to post things twice). Link both your FB and Twitter to LinkedIn, so more people can find you.
