Auto Support for twit pic
When you use Twit Pic to upload a image, and then twitter the link.
, TweetFace shows the Twit Pic banner instead of the image.
The image that is uploaded via Twit Pic should auto default to the link image.121 votesstarted ·

This issue is slightly complicated because TweetPo.st just sends the link to Facebook, which then crawls the page and automatically chooses the first image it finds on the page for the preview.
It is possible (and very simple) for the service to optimize their pages so that the right image is selected by Facebook for the preview (see http://www.facebook.com/share_partners.php). We have submitted a Get Satisfaction request for TwitPic to add this support: http://getsatisfaction.com/twitpic/topics/optimize_twitpic_pages_for_facebook_sharing. So, please go vote for it.
Update It looks like the folks over at TwitPic have acknowledged the issue and are going to work on it. They have promised to update http://getsatisfaction.com/twitpic/topics/optimize_twitpic_pages_for_facebook_sharing when it is done.

Expand short URLs
URLs from shortening services are posted as such on FB, which leads to a very uninteresting banner below the status update.
It should be fairly easy to get the original URL and transmit that to FB instead (at least, until FB starts doing that itself).

Option to keep Hash Tags from being posted to Facebook
A TweetFace user could set the option to have any #tags in tweets not show up in the corresponding Facebook status message or Wall Post.

using the first name on facebook rather then the whole name
Would be better if instead of using the whole name on facebook...use just the person's first name. example if I am talking about something i did with my wife as a status I am not gonna say me and allison smith went to the mall today I am gonna say me and allison went to the mall today.

The way we get the full name is by looking up the user’s Real Name on Twitter, which isn’t split into first and last names (nor is it always there).
In theory if we added a ‘first names only’ setting, we could just post whatever we get from the Twitter Real Name up to the first space. But, that would probably result in a bunch of funky issues.

Option for Filtering RTs
A TweetFace user can set an option so that any tweets beginning with 'RT' don't get posted to Facebook

@rodbegbie, you’re totally right.
We’re going to start by implementing this as an option for new-style RT’s only.
And I think if the users don’t choose to filter them, we will still change the construction for Facebook (e.g. change it from “RT @username: message….” to “…message /via Real Name”
We will leave conventional RTs (i.e. regular tweets leading with the construction “RT @username”) unchanged.
How does that sound to people?

Option to expand 'RT' and 'OH'
Turn 'RT' into 'ReTweet' and 'OH' into 'Overheard'. Any other common Twitterisms we should be handling?

make images optional on link posts
When you post a link on Twitter and Tweetface turns that into a FB link, it seems to pick a random image from the site you're linking.

Map @twitterPerson to @facebookPerson tags
Facebook now supports user tags in status updates (type @someonesname in a status update and you'll see what I mean) if there was a way to list (privately of course) that @joebloggs on twitter was also facebook.com/joebloggs or facebook.com/profile.php?id=11223344 then TweetPo.st could alter the tag for facebook as it was crossposting.
Cheers!

We’d love to try to do this (like you say, it wouldn’t be 100% accurate). However, we’re still waiting for Facebook to allow us to tag users in posts via their APIs.

Allow for exclusion of specific URLs
It would be nice if I could exclude specific hostnames so when I post from sites like FriendFeed they just show up as statuses and not links. The other option would be to allow me to enter my FriendFeed credentials and detect when it is a status update and when it is a link. In this case you'll also want to remove the duplicate Twitter update if a user is sending their FriendFeed updates also out to Twitter.

Accept other shorten link sites than awe.sm
There are better sites than awe.sm to shorten links, as bit.ly, tinyurl, cli.gs, etc...
awe.sm is not open for signup at this time, it should be interesting to allow other shorteners. For example, on twitterfeed they have a big list of shorten sites.22 votes -
adding filtering to exclude posts containing certain keywords
I think there will be many cases where we don't want certain Tweets going to Fb. Rather than creating a setting for each case, would be creating if we could just specify not to post to Fb if a certain keyword is found. (In my case I would use this as part of a workaround for the Twitpic links/logo issue: http://tweetpost.uservoice.com/pages/16246-general/suggestions/180193-auto-support-for-twit-pic).

convert hashtags into links to wthashtag.com wiki or maybe search.twitter.com
often facebook users seem confused by my status updates with hashtags. it would be great if the status could include a link to the wiki or at least a twitter search for some more background on what the hashtag means

Custom Google Analytics API keys so we can see our stats
With Google Analytics being used for stats, we should be able to specify our analytics API key, then authorize tweetface to pull data from that account, e.g. via oAuth. Then I can use all the existing GA tools to run reports, create charts, etc. for my shares, in addition to web traffic, online ads, etc.

Automatically expand Twitlonger.com messages
When posting long Tweets, some Twitter clients allow you to post to Twitlonger.com to show more than 140 characters. When cross-posting these Tweets to Facebook, post the full message from Twitlonger.com instead of the shortened message with the URL to the full message.

This is definitely a cool idea. We’ll have a look at Twitlonger.com and see how hard this would be to do right.

Add support for filtering out specific hashtags from being posted like #SNODS or #SPYMASTER
So that I don't spam the shit out of my news feed any more.

/me like IRC
It would be great if tweetpost could strip out /me at the start of any message. That way, we can sometimes write status updates IRC-style, using the right tense for facebook (while still making sense to twitter).
It would also be good to have /me as an option like #fb is, so that you can choose to only post to facebook anything tagged with #fb or starting with /me (I personally wouldn't want to have to tag /me posts with #fb too).
