I can honestly say that I was close to dumping a few people from my Facebook Friends list because of the constant updates. What happens is those that are Twitter addicts dominate your status updates on FB and so you never see your other friends status updates. Old friends from High School - update their status once a day - not 20 times a day. Twitter is a tough one for me - I want a little bit of status updates on my friends but not a constant stream of broadcast. I think it is really great for people like you Nick who need to be plugged in 24/7 with what the latest scoop is. But someone like me if it is news of any value - TC, Mashable or allFB will report it. I for one hope that Twitter on FB does not come back and I hope they block FriendFeed as well. Not being a grump - but if I wanted Twitter I would have Twitter - but with Twitter integrated with FB I essentially am getting something I did not ask for or want.

So the "is twittering" prefix actually provided some much-needed context. For example, if I Twittered "Oil prices expected to reach $200 a barrel by mid 2009," the status update of "is twittering" helps with the flow. Otherwise it says "David is Oil prices are expected . . . etc," which is clumsy. I actually removed the app as a result of the change.
