Privacy notes:

To control who sees your Tweets and username, go to your Facebook Application settings and click Edit for the Twitter app to restrict who can see your Tweets on your Facebook wall. Unless you have explicitly chosen to authorize Twitter for Facebook to connect your Twitter account to your Facebook account, we will not cross-post to Facebook on your behalf, or display on Facebook your Twitter username, profile picture, or other profile information.

When you choose to connect your Twitter account to your Facebook account, the Facebook authentication dialog screen specifies the Facebook account information that you authorize sharing with Twitter.  This information allows us to cross-post between Twitter and Facebook and may help us improve your Twitter experience, for example, with better suggestions and content on Twitter.  If you disconnect your Facebook account from Twitter, we will delete the Facebook account information that you previously authorized.  Please note that it may take up to a few weeks for this information to be fully removed from our systems.

If your Tweets do not post:

Make sure the box to Post your Tweets to Facebook is checked in your Twitter Profile settings. Try disconnecting and reconnecting again.
