Lost your twitter updates on Facebook? It's because of your Profile settings setup for publishing as "Only Me"!

Lost your twitter updates on Facebook?

People don't comment on your wall anymore for twitter updates?

F%ck you Facebook because of your anti-social approach to introducing the new privacy- related features and updates!

Only now I've realized that people don't comment anymore on my twitts coming to Facebook via twitter application. Just few days ago I always had several comments for almost every item on my wall including the twitter updates re-broadcasted here. But now it's gone...

Have the people changed their minds and stopped follow me? I don't think so :-).

I go investigating this stuff... and what do I find?

 Of course nobody comments on my twitts on Facebook- people just don't see them! Sh&t :(

  • So what is this story about?

It looks like Facebook has introduced recently a new function called "Publisher Control Default", which, if you look at it as it's setup by Facebook for your profile settings, is "ONLY ME". See below-

 

  • Now how to fix that?

Looks like it's enough to go to SETTINGS (upper right corned of Facebook UI) -> PRIVACY SETTINGS -> PROFILE. And change the setup for Publisher Control Default field to "everyone".

  • Did it help?

Looks like a working fix. Take a look- the last post is "visible", the previous one, I'm sorry, is LOST FOREVER for my Facebook contacts.

 

  • FACEBOOK YOU S%CK IF IT'S GONNA BE THE SAME PAIN EVERY YOUR NEW "COOL FEATURE"!

  2. Thanks for making this public!!

    I HATE Facebook for this, not only Twitter updates, but everything I posted got totally ignored! (luckily only 9 posts before I fixed it)

    Imagine all the people who will commit suicide when people never comment on their posts anymore! Facebook should know better than carelessly causing bugs like these and then not clean up their mess.

  3. yep!
    for me Facebook was always and still is, "The biggest ANTI-SOCIAL Social Network" ever. For all their "tricks" we've seen so many already!

  4. Indeed!
    It's not a place to meet people, but rather keep in touch with the ones you already know. Boring.
