Pownce and Facebook Epic Fail

Art: "epic fail"? Come on, a description of such proportions should assuredly deserve a much larger, much more catastrophic anomaly than this, no? :) Just kidding, but not really.... but seriously.

Facebook: Facebook is currently converting from the old method of authentication to a much more streamlined version called Facebook Connect. With this transition comes the obligatory issues that intermittently affect those services that use the current Facebook authentication mechanism, hence the "reauthentication" errors. With that comes the inability to post your status to Facebook if you are thusly "unauthenticated".

Pownce: Pownce has unfortunately been all over the place with stability in the API. Only just recently did we once again start fetching reliable updates from your and your friends' Pownce activity streams. This instability persists intermittently with posting a note to the Pownce API.

Sorry if there's a bunch of jargon in there. I tried to keep it to a minimum.

Issues are hopefully settling down soon. Unfortunately, a comfort phrase such as "rest assured, we're trying as hard as we can", while comforting, doesn't really apply here, as the issues you're facing originate from the external services and not socialthing itself. We are working on more clearly explaining errors and whether those errors happened on socialthing or on an external service we work with. The difficulty comes in keeping such explanations clear and free of technical jargon that would serve only to confuse the user.

On that note:

Art, rest assured we're trying as hard as we can.
