    Love it! Thanks!

    Next feature request: Use . ? ! as end-of-tweet characters for republishing from Google+ to Twitter. Even better: Use the appearance of a second asterisk, for those of us who like to put headlines on our Google+ posts using bolded text.

    In other words, what I'm looking for is a way to use what I write on Google+ to control what appears on Twitter, and do it in a way thats invisible to the people following me on G+.

    My last tweeted Google+ post with the new http://goo.gl shortened url wouldn't open the appended link :(

    Edit: Here is a Dropbox hosted screenshot image of message recieved when clicking on the aforementioned short link - http://db.tt/OWDaD0hJ

    Chris Pilgrim I've checked it and it looks like some weird glitch in our shortener code and we're unable to simulate this unfortunate situation. Thank you for reporting this but for now we'll have to wait for another appearance and hopefully will dig out some more info.

    It would be great if there were some indication on Facebook posts that something was a re-share and that the text was not my own. Don't necessarily want to include original link just to indicate the words weren't me. Great stuff otherwise!

    Alois Bělaška My latest posts are working fine now :) Initial problem seems to be a one off.

  11. Alois BělaškaDecember 12, 2012 at 12:12 PM

    Casey Artner more people wants that feature. I guess I can extend "---" separator to empty_new_line+"--- Reshared post from USER NAME". What do you think?

    Chris Pilgrim awesome, that's the way I like it :)

    I've changed separator between user message and shared message to '▼ Reshared Post From {ORIGINAL_USER_NAME} ▼' .

    Just a "bug" report for Friends+Me  - when you share a photo to twitter, the photo is horribly distorted on the twitter "view photo" link, but displays properly when you link back to the google+ page.

    Rodney Thomas yes I see https://twitter.com/GoSkins81/status/279636743643361280 picture is really distorted. Unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it. Looks like TwitterBot got mad ;)

    Great improvements. The reshared post indication on FB is also much appreciated.

    Oh, and you stripped out the tags on Twitter summaries. :-)

    Still F+Me shortlinks on FB though, eh?

    Christopher Carr what shortlinks do you mean?

  27. Christopher CarrDecember 14, 2012 at 10:45 PM

    On FB, "Repost of Google+ Photo Album" is followed by a r.friendsplus.me/long_string link.

  28. Friends+MeDecember 14, 2012 at 10:50 PM

    Christopher Carr oh I see, actually you can disable this backlink by disabling "Always append a link to original Google+ activity" for your Facebook account.

    Friends+Me : Understood.

    Does FB not allow goog shortlinks?

    Ah. Well you've clearly been busy lately (considering all the improvements). No hurries. :-)

  32. Christopher CarrDecember 14, 2012 at 11:40 PM

    Alois Bělaška I rebooted my FB account nearly a year ago -- now just meat-space acquaintances, real friends, and family. Thanks to you, they are all (selectively) now subjected to my nerdy G+ activity. Tehehe :-)  ... perhaps they would not care to thank you, but yours is now the best way to pipe stuff G+ --> Twitter, FB. 

    This Friends+Me endeavor will look good on a future resume, I'm pretty sure.

    Thank you Christopher Carr I can't even express how grateful I am for your appreciation. It all started as my own itch I wanted to scratch :)

    Christopher Carr I've fixed the link in photo reposts to Facebook. Should be shorter.

  35. Christopher CarrDecember 15, 2012 at 12:52 AM

    Cool.

    I had the same itch -- but I just don't have all the requisite knowledge and skills; would have taken me a year to figure out everything you've done in the last week. :-)

    Alois Bělaška Here's a strange thing:

    "Warning: This Message Contains Blocked Content: Some content in this message has been reported as abusive by Facebook users."

    This is the post:

    I assume it's an FB API thing. But what the heck...?

    Christopher Carr yes this is a Facebook thing :) For months I am trying to figure out why this happens, so far no luck. Maybe curse less :D

  39. Christopher CarrDecember 16, 2012 at 4:19 AM

    "Maybe curse less"

    They are flagging "ass," apparently. Which is...well, pretty damn ridiculous. 

    Just another thing to add to my list of why FB sucks...

    Got this again:

Warning: Sharing That Image Could Get You Banned or Blacklisted

Warning: Sharing That Image Could Get You Banned or Blacklisted Most people have no idea that the way in which they are sharing images on #SocialMedia  or on their blogs could actually get them banned, blacklisted, or worse! In this next part of my Sharing Images Online series I take on the heavy task of explaining the legal side of sharing images in a simple way that everyone can understand.  Read the full post here:  http://dustn.tv/sharing-images-responsibly/ It basically boils down to this - you either have explicit written consent to use an image, or you don't. And if you use someone's copyrighted image because you just so happened to find it online you risk having your social media account deleted/banned or your website blacklisted! Let's all make the internet a better place for creators and curators alike and stop sharing images recklessly, and stop supporting those who knowingly (or unknowingly) do as well .  In the full post I tried to keep it as dead simple as...
