I have been using Twitter for a while now, but I really never really got into Facebook. I wanted to leverage something that I use often to constantly bombard people on Facebook with my facebook profile.
So even thought I installed the twitter facebook application, I never authorized it to automatically post my Twitters to my Facebook status.
Today is the day I did that.
You can do it to, start here, click on that link and then add it.
Once it is added, you should see this:
Click it and it will take you to here:
Check the check box and click "Authorize Twitter." You can also annoy hundreds of people in a single Twitter. Heck, this post should automatically be sent to Twitter, which is automatically sent to my Facebook status.

That's what social media is all about...finding different and diverse ways to annoy all your friends:.)

Hey Barry,
you might want to take away the Twitter apps right to post to your mini feed though. If you dont it will keep showing up like this, basically double:

Why does it double?

It doubles because it defaults to post your Twitter updates in your mini-feed. When you set it to also change you status to show your latest tweet, it's also going to show that your status has been updated to the same message.
Personally, I don't like using Twitter to update a person's status, since it often won't make sense, especially if your latest Twitter is a reply to someone else.
For example, at the time of this comment, your current twitter message is @graywolf mahalo is up. This means your Twitter status will read: Barry is @graywolf mahalo is up. Doesn't really make sense.
Personally, I'll just stick to letting Twitter show updates on my mini-feed, without changing my Facebook status.

OK, I think I removed it.
Thanks for explaining.

Actually, I believe it ignores tweets that start with @ and will not update your Facebook status with it.
It will post tweets with @ in the middle of the message though.

@OnkelSchark: Ah, that's good to know. I didn't realize that.
