TwitterI’ve done it.. I’ve fallen to the draw of twitter! Thanks to Chris Moyles’s radio show I joined to see just what it was all about… Hours later I was on the hunt for something in order to tie it to my Facebook status. If you want to do the same thing:

1. Get the Twitter application installed in your Facebook profile here: Twitter App For Facebook.

2. You’ll should see a link that says: Want Twitter to update your Facebook status? Click here!

Once that was done, I was left trying to find an update utility for my HTC Touch Diamond.. After trying severl variations I found myself sticking with TinyTwitter. Which is availble for many devices:

Windows Mobile Smartphone
