Sam's World Of No

This is under the category of ‘useful stuff I’ve found which might save someone else some googling’:

1. Log in to Facebook
2. Add the Twitter Facebook App
3. Register your Twitter account with said app
4. Click ‘Allow Twitter to update your Facebook status’
5. Click yes to Vista-esque security settings to allow Twitter access to your Facebook status

Done!

Should you later want to stop Twitter updating your Facebook status:

1. In Facebook, hover over ‘Settings’ and choose ‘Twitter Settings’ from the menu
2. Click on ‘Additional Permissions’
3. Uncheck ‘Update my status without notifying me.’

NB: Apparently @reply tweets won’t turn up. Probably for the best; they wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense!

Anybody else think that with all the @, # and RT: syntax, Twitter is turning into an obfuscated language of its own? It reminds me of the weird format we used to have to send to roaming GPS boxes, back when I worked on a project that involved involved such things, and debugging problems with the message syntax got really quite difficult!
