Twitter announced two new ways to find new friends on Twitter. Twitter added to the find friends section, a LinkedIn and Facebook tab to allow you to connect with your LinkedIn connections via Twitter and friends on Facebook.

The only issue is that as soon as Twitter announced this feature, the Facebook connection tool was disabled. Twitter said “the Facebook app cannot currently access your Facebook friend list. We believe this is an issue on Facebook’s end.” There is currently no update on the status of adding and discovering friends on Twitter via Facebook. But LinkedIn does work and you can access that over here to find new friends.

Here are screen shots of both Facebook and LinkedIn via Twitter:
