How to revoke access to Twitter and Facebook apps

Facebook and Twitter are both great social networks and I use them a lot to say in touch with friends and family. I also use applications that require a connection with Facebook or Twitter. For instance, Klout, Farmville and Foursquare. Sometimes I also connect with an app I use just for one time. Because I want to try it, or it’s funny, or I use it not any more, or I can win a prize. Like the KLM world deal campaign.

But when you stop using that third-party app. The connection between that app and Facebook or Twitter remains intact. So those third parties can still access your account. And that could be dangerous. If, for some reason, they turn evil, they can use your data for some nasty things or sell it to other companies. To make sure that the third-party will not use my Facebook or Twitter account, you have to revoke the access for that app. I’ll explain short how you can revoke access to Twitter and Facebook applications.

3 years on Twitter!

Happy birthday! I am 3 years on Twitter! 3 years of joys and sorrows. Sharing stuff that is worth sharing.

Twitter is for my a great why to meet new people, learn from everybody, get inspired and get to know the latest news. I even got my internship at Budeco via Twitter. So Twitter is not just telling about what you’re eating it is also connecting with people and get an internship. ;)

In those 3 years I got about 1300 followers and I follow almost 1000 tweeps. I post about 10.000 tweets a years. Also Klout got some stats about my Twitter account. My Klout score is 46 and according to them I am a Specialist. The explanation for Specialist is:

You may not be a celebrity, but within your area of expertise your opinion is second to none. Your content is likely focused around a specific topic or industry with a focused, highly-engaged audience.

Well, I kinda like that explanation and I think it’s right. I tweet a lot about WordPress, SEO, social media and related subjects.

I am looking forward to at least 3 more years on Twitter! At least 3 more years of joys and sorrows. I hope to learn more, get inspired and get to know more people. Thanks you for these 3 years! Do you already follow me on Twitter? :) @simonvreeman
Or congratulate me!
