As I was just randomly surfing the web, I came across a potentially useful service called MySkyStatus by Lufthansa. This service allows travelers to input their flight information and have departure and arrival information as well as up to two updates while in-flight posted to their Facebook and/or Twitter accounts. The great thing about this service is that this is not limited to Lufthansa flights, but for many other airlines as well.

The only drawback it seems is that once you input a flight and link it to your Facebook and Twitter accounts, you can’t cancel it. However, you would still be able to remove it once updates are posted. I think I will try this out for a future flight.
