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!

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.

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

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.

I’ve found out, that Facebook is blocking some goo.gl links. It’s crazy. I can’t tell why, but some links shortened by goo.gl are blocked, but the same links shortened by bit.ly are ok.
Right now I am implementing bit.ly support. Who wants to help and alpha test this?
