Thanks Mark. I apprecite your feedback.
Oh oh...
I've just gone into my Facebook account to see if the status thing has happened lately. And it hasn't.
I then delved further into my status update history, and I can't find any instances of this having happened!
Oh jeez. I feel like a complete fruitcake now! I hope I didn't imagine this whole thing.
Mark... If I was mistaken, I apologize.

Hi, royblumenthal:
This doesn't sound good: I'd not want all my friends to see all of my DM correspondence!
From Twitter's perspective, I suppose Facebook is third party...
Since this thread is rather underpopulated, you might attract Twitter's attention by submitting a support request via http://twitter.com/help/ and including a link to this thread.
You should receive an automatic email acknowledgement within minutes. Twitter process support requests sequentially and usually have a backlog, so ca. 5 days may elapse before you receive a human response.

Hi, Eridanus...
From Facebook's perspective, the Twitter app is third party. From Twitter's perspective, I believe it's a Twitter tool, not a different operator.
To confirm... yes... all of the people who are able to view my Facebook status are able to see both '@' and 'd' messages as my Facebook status update.
Which basically means that there's NO privacy on my Twitter acc, unless I switch off the Facebook plugin.

Hiya...
I too have seen this problem.
What I'm observing is that my '@' and 'd' messages are used by Facebook as status updates! This is hectic!
'd' messages are supposed to be private. Between two people only. But they're appearing ON MY FACEBOOK status!!!!
What can be done?
I'm not using any third party apps. I'm using the Twitter Facebook app.
Please can anyone solve this????

i've been trying to raise this same issue with a site called "soundcloud". side issue, but the idea i had for that was that perhaps users could be voted down to a point that triggers a vote to ban them for abusing the system.
another idea would be to have no notification to the user who has been followed, thereby dropping the incentive for the spammer to randomly add people.

To be honest, Twitter has bigger priorities than this...like making the site stable, rebuilding their system structure while keeping the site up, restoring IM and tracking, fixing pagination for those who aren't seeing the "Older" button, and so on. – Spam, on July 08, 2008 22:18

A comment on the problem "avatar sizes in HTML and CSS don't match" in Twitter:
Yes, that's exactly what mdy described. I'm fine with this, because scaled-down images don't look so ugly compared to ones which are scaled up. – Mislav, on July 03, 2008 18:23

I think they used to have a smaller version of all our avatar images at 24x24, which they use to display avatars of people we're following in our sidebar. And it was the smaller pic that they were displaying before, just scaled to 31x31.
Now it seems they've decided to use the larger versions of our avatar pics, which are 73x73.
So my guess is they're just using the larger version of the avatar image and didn't make any change to the css code.
Mislav will probably know better. I'm just guessing. LOL.
Eridanus replied on July 03, 2008 08:21 to the problem "avatar sizes in HTML and CSS don't match" in Twitter:
It looks as though they've fixed it!
When I glanced at my sidebar today, I found I'm much more focused than usual.
My Graphic Properties popup says the image is MyPic_bigger.gif (3318 byte: that's actually my full-size 73 x 73 avatar) with 31 x 31 pixels.
So it's being scaled on-the-fly (Why? Is that less work for Twitter than storing & transmitting a 31 x 31 graphic? Or just simpler to code that way?).
I'll leave mdy and Mislav to find and describe the changes in the code!
