Facebook: Status or Microblog?
What is Facebook under, status or microblog? I'd assume status since thats what they are called on Facebook, but I can't seem to find any confirmation.
I’m confused

@raj, I'm the same way. I hate how we have to consider it a microblog. When we switched some stuff around a month ago, people were livid because of the "not a microblog" issue, so we had to make everyone happy.
i'm working on a settings page so you can alter how Facebook is considered.

Inappropriate?If you go to your dashboard, then hit settings and then default settings mine is set as status updates as the default. That makes all the services you are signed up for defaulted to update the status.
I’m confident

Inappropriate?If I understand the service, this just means that by default, messages will be sent to the 'status' services, not the microblogging or blogging services. For example if you go into the Twitter settings you can pick status updates and/or microblogging. However theres no controls for Facebook.

Inappropriate?Correct, I believe it's b/c you can't blog to facebook via ping.fm therefore you don't have an option when you click on it because your only option is status updates. When you click on facebook you get this message:
The Ping.fm Facebook application allows you to set your Facebook status by posting a message to Ping.fm. You must add the Ping.fm application to your Facebook account to enable this service.
Click the button below to login to your Facebook account and add the Ping.fm application.
It doesn't say status and blogs, so I'm assuming you can't update your blog via ping. I could be wrong tho I'm not 100% certain. -
Inappropriate?Is there any way to set Facebook as either status, microblog, or both?
I despise how it is a microblog, as it really isn't. I'd love to be able to change this. -

Love to see the settings available for Facebook. It's an odd inconsistency of features. -
Thanks, Sean! This has been driving me crazy ever since I realized what was happening! How long do you think it'll be before this option will be available?

I await this eagerly. Right now I'm using triggers to get around it, but...

Sounds good, since this bug has been stopping me using ping.fm to post to twitter (I use the "Statuses" selection to post to plurk & facebook - But I want to post to places like twitter and tumblr with "Micro-Blogs"). Please hurry!
