Stand Back TweetPo.st; SupaSync is the better Facebook-Twitter App

So it has been since October 5, 2009 since I wrote my last blog post, and it's with good reason. With planning a church concert, "The GTCC Praise Party feat. national recording artist G.I.," which was a great success, I didn't have much time to devote to social media. After October 24th after the event was over, (Thank God) I was ready to start back to blogging and sharing my news feeds from Google Reader, but there was a huge problem; after disabling my Tweetpo.st account, I wasn't allowed to re-enable it. Bummer!

Tweetpo.st, introduced to me by Damond Nollan, was the best application to use to update your Facebook status via Twitter. Tweetpo.st also automatically posted your tweet that contained a link into your wall instead of a FaceBook status. A link in my Facebook status seemed dirty to me and other people view it as a potential security risk. But for months I was in a limbo, because I could not re-enable my account. It seemed that I had to create a new account, however it seems Tweetpo.st can't accept new users at the moment because of API issues. To this day, according to their twitter account, Tweetpo.st is working on a new update with "cool new features." They've been saying that for more than a month. After a while, my patience runs thin and I can't wait any longer; I must find another solution.

Here I introduce to some, SupaSync. This is my alternative to Tweetpo.st until they get their act together. However, it seems SupaSync does everything Tweetpo.st does and more! Tweetpo.st and SupaSync both respectfully ignore @replies and posts links to walls. But SupaSync alone ignores Retweets (something irrelevant to FaceBook), strips hashtags and via [text] (with user input of course), they skip tweets that have @mentions (with user input), and you can choose your own keywords, i.e. #fb to send an update to Facebook. The only thing that SuperSync doesn't do that Tweetpo.st does is change @mentions to real names, but that's petty.

Right now, SupaSync tops Tweetpo.st, but I look forward to see what the new Tweetpo.st update is going to bring to the table. Try SupaSync, you won't be disappointed.
