Is there a way to have friendfeed update my facebook status message, rather than having it updated with the twitter application?

That is, I want to update my status at twitter, and have it update my facebook status. However I *do not* want duplicate entries in my mini-feed.

Can you help me?

@Angsuman
I actually usually do look very careful, not reading eulas so much, but this is one of my pet peeves and the reason I have done nothing with socialthing and most likely never will.

@Allen I have that many friends in these certain areas but your answer made me realize that I miscalculated, I took the total number and set them in comparison to my fb friends which of course is stupid. Still, adding the fb app added an additional fifth of my fb friends to ff to the ones already using it.

and it is possible that I do have a total of 20-30% of my fb friends as ff users just due to the nature of what people I am connected to. (It would be higher but a lot of my german friends surely will take their time).

Anyway, I was surprised at how big that was.

@Oliver
Sometimes it also seems because people add a “with friends” feed or so. Unsubscribing certain feed types plus that are my most used option. ;)

It is true that they have not activly subscribed, but it would be nice to see who is suddenly following you as well :)

Plus I smell trouble in the system because what if you do remove the FB app, will they unsubscribe you at once? That should become more sophisticated over time.

Ah, THIS is why I am following so many ppl on FRiefeed w/o remembering to have them subscribed manually ;)

That is something unexpected!
I was actually surprised when it asked all kind of permissions when adding and I thought of removing them later. I suspect most people, myself included, don’t really look at what permissions we are giving away
