Ben, do you know anything about Facebook delaying updates from Twitter/HootSuite? Yesterday my updates took 2 hours to post on FB.

This is definitely a Facebook problem.

All Twitter or any app can do is say, "Hey Facebook post this message if the user wants it". It's up to Facebook to make sure that it only posts the message if the user wants it.

The Facebook system must be ignoring the user setting around Twitter messages. Definitely not good for Facebook.

I've just started twitter to update friends and I'm still about to see what will happen to my facebook. Anyhow, if it updates my status I don't mind.

The bug is one issue, the other is the Guru Tip to hook the accounts together via RSS and may be facebooks desire to get twitterers back to stick around on facebook - at any price. Bugs often are not bugs...

Actually I'm fine with twitter updating my facebook status. Saves me time and I get to connect with both my facebook and twitter friends at the same time. I guess the problem only comes in when it's something I specifically want only my twitter friends to know? But they are ok with not publish twitter replies so I'm fine there as well.

FB is "refactoring" their app platform. Better, faster, stronger :D http://developers.facebook....

I think "status update" is allowed now to all apps without prompt. It can be either friendfeed or twitter.

This seems to be happening with any application that post to the users status. If you click to delete a status, there is an option to disable future status updates from that app. Use that as a temporary fix until Facebook works things out on their end.

Official apps set to NOT auto update, both simultaneously begin updating--oh, and these two apps both happen to be competitors of Facebook in this space.

I think it is completely reasonable to link any more of my services to Facebook, whether this was accidental or not. If I wanted all of that posted to Facebook, I would have posted it to Facebook in the first place.

I have a hard time believing this was just a mistake. If so, why did it affect both Twitter and Friendfeed, but none of the other services that can update your status remotely? Just the two big ones? Hmmm...

Looks like FB may be fixing the problem already. I used Flock to tweet, with "Broadcast to Facebook" checked again, and, lo and behold, it didn't update my status like it did earlier today. And I didn't uninstall the Twitter app, either.

Escaped by changing the email account in Twitter. YAY!

you can change your facebook settings though.just do not tick the box asking for special permissions.
