Hi, The source for this is the article by Elinor Mills on CNET on September 20, 2012. Here's the original URL: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-57517364-83/ios-6-allows-tweets-facebook-posts-from-locked-device/ Title was: "iOS 6 allows tweets, Facebook posts from locked device"
HTH. (Replying here, rather than to Chris' post saying that he didn't have the original source for this.)
