IcedNyior, I'm not aware of anything that does that, but I'm not terribly familiar with the different packages that are out there. Do you know PHP? I know there are a few scripts out there to get a twitter status (ie: number 5 on <a href="http://bit.ly/1ThTqo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/1ThTqo</a>), and it's possible they could be hacked to require a #wp hashtag or something.

I also noticed that there is a bit.ly signup. I added the api key and it looks like that part's working now too. okay, forget I mentioned the not going to FB, that part’s solved.

I put in the #fb tag, but not only did it not update Facebook, the twitter didn't include the url. Maybe I need to configure things differently. k, no luck.

It's funny that you mention this... I upgraded WordPress to 2.8.4 yesterday, and it broke everything I had done with TwitterTools (tr.im URL shortening and the #fb hashtag). I realized this right as I was leaving for a party. When I got back last night, I did a number of things to get the system working. It no longer uses the code I mentioned in this post, and is in fact, a more elegant solution in my mind. First, I made sure that the WordPress 2.8.4 upgrade worked correctly. Then I upgraded TwitterTools to version 2.0 (which overwrites the changes made in the above blog post). The newest version of TwitterTools has three optional plugins that come with it, one for bit.ly URL shortening, exclude categories, and hashtags. I enabled both bit.ly and hashtags, and configured the hashtag options to add #fb to any tweets. So far, it has worked flawlessly. Let me know if you hit any brick walls, and I'll email you. Hi M@.

I agree, those are good clients for keeping the two services linked together a bit. I've used TweetDeck, and downloaded Tweetie today after watching for it's release with much enthusiasm. I've yet to use it, though I'll likely get to it tonight or tomorrow. I've also found that Nambu for both Mac and iPhone/iTouch is a great client, and is currently my software of choice. I've also heard that the Flock web browser has some Twitter and Facebook integration options, but I haven't tried it yet. Have you? Hi Chris!

I have found using a Twitter tool like Tweetdeck or Tweetie (coming MOnday) allows me very good integration between FB and Twitter and I can spend less time on my blog and more access from phone too.

I actually spent five minutes finding the logos, resizing them to be the same basic size, and then laying them out in the order of information flow... From this site, to Twitter, and then to Facebook. And yes, I know I'm a total geek with too much time on my hands. :-) Yeah… I actually spent five minutes finding the logos, resizing them to be the same basic size, and then laying them out in the order of information flow… From this site, to Twitter, and then to Facebook.
