iTunes 9 and Twitter Support

A month ago, reports surfaced that the new iTunes will support Twitter, Facebook, and Last.fm. Now that the iTunes 9 has been released, we can take a look at how this feature is integrated.
Quoting from this website:
Sharing via Facebook and Twitter  is relatively simplistic. It only applies to albums, songs, and downloads available in the iTunes store, so you can’t tweet out what you’re listening to in your playlist.
Simply click on the arrow next to “Buy Album” or “Buy Song” and a drop-down menu with the option to share via Facebook or via Twitter will appear. On Facebook, it will post the album picture and a link to the iTunes store. On Twitter, you’ll get a tweet similar to this:

The tweet is not that great, and I was a bit disappointed. it would be better if I can tweet what I'm currently listening to at the moment. Anyway, this is a new feature, so I'm pretty sure Apple will update this if it proves to be helpful to its business.
