Thanks for your comment!

Even though Facebook now supports @, you still have to go to Facebook and manually start typing @Friend's Name to select the friend you're “mentioning.” So Twitter @'s won't carry over to Facebook with the appropriate tag linked to the user's profile, it will just be plain text. Although it would be great if Facebook could figure out how to integrate that sort of functionality.

The Selective Twitter Updates app for Facebook helps a lot if you want to just periodically update your FB via Twitter. Also, with Facebook now supporting @ (but in a different way) it can make sense to use it in limited scenarios.

I usually update mine independently of each other – where's the fun otherwise?

Is there any way for my Facebook friends to follow my tweets right on Facebook? Is there any such Facebook application? I don't want to change my status, though.

It should be noted that there are applications that remove hashtags (#), replies (@), and retweets (RT@) from the merge to Facebook. There are also other applications that allow you to add a prefix to a tweet notifying the merge to Facebook to take place, so that not all tweets, but only those with the specific prefix find their way to Facebook — the prefix does not appear in the tweet on Twitter (or in your manager) or in your Facebook status text.

Someone didn't do all their homework.
