Do Everything Facebook Status and Tweet

First off, happy new year.

Secondly, I'm a huge fan of the status and the tweet. Especially syncing them. Not only is it cool to see 'via Twitter' on my Facebook page, but it's rewarding to be able to do one thing once and reach 2 different networks in 2 different veins.

BUT this is incomplete.

For the longest time I've wondered about including song lyrics and quotes in my status. I've always felt it wrong to do because whatever song I'd like to share or specific lyrics I'd like to display are not actually my 'status.' Moreover, the quote just seems to sappy to dive into in a status. It doesn't add any 'value' as far as the purpose of a status goes.

But what if the status box or the tweet box was customized and you could specify that you're "listening to...", "singing.." or "thinking..." for song titles, lyrics and quotes. You can do ANYTHING in the status and tweet box right now, but if there were prescribed beginnings that even made the status box look slightly different (i.e. add a music note to the corner of the box), it would look less weird and fulfill my urge to share that song in my head.
