Indeed - and they should fix it, but I guess twitter's developers have a fair bit on their 'to do' list :). I have no problem with switching to a TP app, though - particularly one with far better functionality and which doesn't even ask for my twitter password. After all, Twitter's success has been in large part built on the openness of its API and the explosion of TP apps and add-ons. – jimjarmo, on May 13, 2008 23:58

I recognize that twittersync is *a* solution. This is still a defect in the official app, which I would prefer to use, and I thought I'd "cast a vote" as it were. Thanks though. – Tim (kumokasumi), on May 13, 2008 23:40

Tim - as per the above posts, use the third-party twittersync application to update your facebook status rather than twitter's own offering. That gives you the option to prepend with a customisable string (like mrdctaylor, I'm using "[via twittersync]" to give them a bit of publicity) as well the option to filter certain tweets that you *don't* want to update your facebook status (e.g. @ messages). – jimjarmo, on May 13, 2008 21:12

Please let me provide a customizable string, or at least give me a choice. My tweets look silly on facebook without preface and it was an easy way to signal to my friends that I use twitter,and that they should look for me there.
