@candrews Is there any difference now between publishing to a FB users stream and updating a FB users status? Used to be.
-
@zach there is. publishing a story only pushes it to your newsfeed. updating the FB status is more permanent/visible
-
@zach I don't believe so. There appears to be no difference on facebook pages. Last time they changed layouts, the difference went away.
-
@candrews Thats how it seems to me too. Cool. Love your FB patch.
-
@zach while you're in patch review mode, would mind doing the same for my groups timeline patch? :-)
-
@edythemighty Can you elaborate? I can't tell the diff. http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Stream.publish
-
@candrews Yeah, I'll look at that next. You're coding a mile a minute! :) Awesome.
-
@zach it doesn't look the same, but still having it in the actual top status box is nice, also when looking in chat, seeing the status...
-
@edythemighty I can't find how to update my "status" on FB any more. Now the box above my stream says "Share" and has attachment buttons.
-
@zach just "sharing" a string of text makes that your status
-
@edythemighty You're right! That's really stupid! Maybe the 'right thing' w/FB would be: status update if text-only, publish if attachment.
-
@edythemighty But what sucks about that is there are two separate permissions we'd have to ask the user for. #gar #facebook
-
@zach yep. most are probably used to clicking blindly anyway :D
-
@edythemighty Double stupidity: there's no way to ask the FB user for all the permissions you need in one go. You have to repeatedly prompt.
