Can you get SocialThing! to mimic the TwitterSync functionality when you post a status update?
For example, if I post a status message it goes straight to Twitter and Pownce unaltered, but a verb based prefix is added for Facebook-

We've isolated this to only a couple of ways this can happen: 1. The actual Twitter post we're trying to combine with starts with "is" 2. You see a Twitter post, and then later, with auto-updating you see the same post, but from Facebook coming in. This is something that we're fixing really soon. 3. There's some unknown prefix before the actual Facebook status message. This is a little bit harder, because they can change all the time. We're working on fixes for all of these things, so soon enough you shouldn't have these issues! – Matt Galligan, on June 14, 2008 03:09 -

Thanks for the insight, and you're spot on. Currently I believe we are checking for "is", "is twittering", and maybe a couple of other's. We're implementing a more general matching function that will de-dupe more reliably. -

Socialthing! fails to combine synchronized Twitter & Facebook statuses when the Facebook status is given a customized prefixWith TwitterSync, people are able to update Twitter and have it synced with Facebook without that preposterous 'is twittering:' prefix. However, since Facebook's status is based around 'be' verbs, some users have configured TwitterSync to prepend something else (which, to me, defeats the purpose), such as 'says'. It's clear that, when you combine two contacts which also combines their Twitter and Facebook statuses, Socialthing! already has it in place to filter out 'is twittering:' due to the prevalence of it. Is it possible for Socialthing! to filter out all prefixes so that the two statuses are combined again?
