Facebook piggybacking on twitter??

Yesterday i made many tweets and tweet replies to people of a recent blog post of mine. Within 2 hours i had more than 200 hits but when i go to referring sites under stats, i find that facebook is on top at 10 and seesmic has 1, twitter 4 and twitlonger 2. I used twitlonger for longer tweets and was using seesmic client on my android.

It let me thinking that what is happening. Then i saw what's happening: when you use the twitter app on fb or any other twitter app, it pulls your tweets to fb. Due to lower server loads compared to twitter, fb is becoming a top referrer. May be twitter doesn't if u tweet same link to multiple people?  But it was interesting to observe this.
