Last.fm-Twitter Application #iPhone #lastfm #Twitter @lastfm_love

Maybe this is old news, I don't know. But i found it useful. Last.fm is a great service for listening to great music. I've had my account for a long time, but never used it much. Now that I've FINALLY installed the Last.fm app on my iPhone, I'll have to say its my new favorite music streaming app. But I did come to find out one thing that is definitely missing, a share function to tweet what you're currently listening to. The app is lacking in this area, with nothing more than the ability to share with 'email contact' or a 'Last.fm friend' (and if you come across my profile you'll see I only have one friend -@vazguard-, it's sad i know). So neither of those options are really of much use to me.
Well I did a little searching in hopes that I'll find something to alleviate the pain of not being to tell all my followers aka tweeps, twerps, tweeple, what track I "love" and is currently playing as I listen to Last.fm through the day.
To my surprise and joy I found this, LastFM love/twitter mashup. All you'll need to do to get started is type in your Last.FM account username, Sign in to twitter, allow the LastFM love/twitter application access to twitter, just as any other app you'd allow.
Yes, I know you can send your #lastfm tweets from your pc/laptop Last.fm account as @roeiboot graciously made me aware of (thx guy!). But this is directed at those that primarily use the Last.fm iPhone app like myself. I'm sure I'm not the only one wants and has found this LastFM love/twitter mashup but I felt it should put it out there for all others to enjoy.
So finally, once you're all set up here's what you do:
Start listening to you favorite station via/ the Last.fm iPhone application and as one of the songs play and compells you to tell others about it, just hit the little "love" Heart at the bottom left of the app (see the screenie) and thats it! You've successfully posted your #lastfm song Twitter.
See below the example of a song I posted today:
