Hi. Twitter has a status update on the Twitter Status blog that says they deployed a fix to the Facebook app a couple of hours ago.

Perhaps it's working now...?

Twitter posted a status update on Jun 12 on the Status Blog.

They seem to be aware that the problem still exists.

The relevant excerpt:

Facebook app: currently broken for many users, we need to rework some of the core functionality of the app to bring it back in a stable way.

At least my tweets are updating my status...

Mine is updating again, but I still see the errors when I click on the app. I'm happy as long as it works.

Also had my Facebook app stop synching yesterday. Today I get error messages when I click on the app in Facebook.

My facebook status was updating in perfect synchronization with my tweets till sometime yesterday (6/4/08)...now it seems like it doesn't get my tweets. I uninstalled and logged out and reinstalled the app. Are there still known problems? If so, I haven't experienced them at all, not even once, until yesterday...

A comment on the problem "Facebook Twitter App Not Working" in Twitter:

Could you add the option to include the text "is twittering" back? Possibly with a check box in the options area. If it is off by default and I have to enable it I don't think facebook would mind.

I'd like to have something in there added in. A Colon : or something. My updates look nonsensical most of the time because my name is added in front.

We believe the app should now be fixed - please let me know if it's not working for you.

On the "is twittering" removal: We were asked by Facebook not to automatically include text in the status update that users did not enter themselves. Also a lot of people were really annoyed by the "is twittering" inclusion since the day we introduced it. So now we include just the update.

I'm with Steve Farr, but I'll take what I can get. As my friend 'traumleben' says, something is better than nothing!

It has started working for me too. Word "twittering" removed. Incredibly annoying. Don't these guys check this stuff before going into the wild? Perhaps some punctuation would have been better like ":".

RazorD replied on May 09, 2008 08:50 to the problem "Facebook Twitter App Not Working" in Twitter:

Its working now without needed to remove it, but the no more 'is twittering:' is annoying, as it still adds the 'is', so it becomes 'user is [tweet]', and makes it read strange.

Can't we have it as an option to add 'is twittering:'?

Or, just have a colon, 'user: [tweet]'

OK...after having the same frustration that everyone else has been having, I tried the one thing I didn't earlier...and not only does Twitter now update my Facebook status, but it doesn't insert the annoying "is twittering: " before my status message! Here's what I did:

1. In Facebook, go to the Applications column (left side) and click the "edit" button so you can get an alphabetical list of the apps you're running.
2. Remove the Twitter app.
3. LOG OUT OF FACEBOOK. (This was the step I never tried earlier!)
4. Go to http://twitter.com/badges/facebook and click the "Install Twitter in Facebook" button.
5. You will be taken to Facebook, and asked to create an account. Don't worry, just log in with your information in the left (blue) column.
6. Then, just follow the directions to install the application. Of course, you must authorize the app to update your Facebook status without notifying you.
7. After a few tense seconds...the app should be installed successfully!
8. Use the large box at the top of the now-running app to update your status. Once you've submitted it, a yellow box with text in it (just below the box you typed in) will tell you that your status was updated (sorry, the wording is different, but it basically tells you it succeeded).
9. Click the Facebook icon to go to your home page and see if your status was updated--mine was! I also tried updating from Twitter.com and my phone...and all is right again with the universe!

And as I mentioned before, there's no more "is twittering: " before my status message!

Good luck, and DON'T SKIP STEP 3!
