I've built a webservice to post songinfo to social networks(currently limited to twitter) automatically from your SAM.
Sign up at sam-song.info for each social network seperately.
You can change the settings to suit your needs and once you click save you can download a custom PAL that is generated according to your preferences.

UPDATE 2020-08-27: Facebook support is going away for the never-ending beta as well. More infos soon.

The Fineprint:
Stay inside the limits given by Twitter and Facebook TOS, especially with your links and pictures.

You may change the PAL as you like, but I'd be happy if you credited me as the original developer.

You're welcome.

I'd like to outline my motivation for this, maybe that's interesting for some of you:
This Project started mostly out of curiosity for the different web2.0 services. (They have really well documented APIs, but I really had no use for them)
I still don't see the real advantage of using social networks over traditional websites, but most people of my age and younger that are not that much into IT love these things.
And it's so much easier to just put in username and password for most people than to configure the webpages that come with SAM.

What was mostly interesting for me with this project is combining the only two programming languages I'm really good at. (I learned PASCAL at the CS course in school for 6 Years and I develop PHP Applications as a part time job next to studying at university)

Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Especially on the userfriendlyness part.
I'm a software developer and pretty much into the Computer thing, so it's not always obvious to me if things get too complicated.

The other thing is I don't use any of the international social networks privately.
So please if you'd like to see another one, drop me a note and I'll try to implement it.

Updated the PAL tonight:
It now has an Assistant that will guide you through the configuration.

EDIT (02.50 CET):
Just fixed the last issues with the config assistant. Would be nice if someone could test on their system.
The Filesystem / User Access Control in Vista / Win7 is a fiddly issue that's pretty hard to track in PAL.

It works perfectly fine for me (except logging which I just repaired). You might have noticed that I posted some test messages on your behalf. (Feel free to delete 'em)

If it did produce logfiles (error.log / debug.log in the directory you specified) for you already please send them to me or attach them to this forum.
If not, try again with new version and then send me the logfiles. If it doesn't produce anything again, please contact me directly and we will try to sort this out in real-time.

Updated script can be found at the known location.

i hope that i am not too late to the party but im trying to use this pal with no luck yet. every time i try to turn it on it will crash sam.

i run my sam 4.5.6 on a windows server and i have 1 more simple pal running which is a voice overlay.

You might also try updating to the LATEST version of SAM, 4.6.4 available to all legitimate SAM customers in the CLIENTS area (upper right corner of this screen.)

Does it tell you any message when crashing?
Or does it just hang for some time (can vary between 5 sec to 1 min or so)
The latter is a known issue that I was not yet able to resolve.
It also seems to vary depending on time of day and star constellation (e.g. not reproducable and not depending on system load or so)

Have you been able to configure the script?
Did it run at any time or does your sam crash immediately after loading the script?

Please give me as much info as possible, even if it may seem obvious.

it takes a few senconds, about 5 sec max, and then sam shuts down with no warnings. the configuration process seems ok to me, it does ask me a few question like you mentioned on your post.

i tried in diffenrent ways. using facebook and twitter, using only twitter, using only facebook.

i have to say i never got the confirmation for facebook after clicking on your link but i did got it for twitter. but i did follow the instructions to use the id number for facebook when the pal script ask for the account.

do i have to open the file in my text editor and do anything to it?

thanks.
