With Static FBML app you can customize your fan page by adding anchor links, videos, link clickable images, content and so on with the use of HTM and FBML codes (Facebook Markup Language). You can even create a mini site by this app. But only disadvantage is that you need to have some knowledge on HTML and FBML.
There so many twitter apps available for pages. But I feel that best among them is one that shares your fan page status to your twitter account. With this app you can share every thing you publish. You can Share status updates, links, photos, notes, and events with your followers on Twitter, directly from your Facebook Page.
Here you can choose the kind of things that you like to share on Twitter and Facebook.
