Users Not Able to Comment or Like Some Posts on Facebook Page Walls

Facebook Pages began exhibiting a change
yesterday afternoon wherein posts made to a
Page’s wall directly or through tagging do not
show the option to comment. Page admins are
frustrated because they can’t respond to
comments, queries or accusations made to
their Page through tagged updates, and can
only remove the post. Also, users who Like a
Page can’t comment on posts made to the
Page’s wall by others who Like it. However,
posts made by the Page itself which show up
on its own wall are unaffected.
Update from Facebook: “This is a known bug
that is only affecting some Pages. The team is
actively working on fixing it.”

Facebook has recently been tweaking the status
update tagging tool, displaying a suggested
match tagging dropdown when a user
capitalizes a word matching the name of one
of their friends or Likes. Facebook also
changed the color of status update tag
backgrounds. This issue could be related to
these changes, or the slow rollout of the new
publisher. We’ll return with any additional
information and Facebook’s response as soon
as possible.

And thanks to BrandGlue for sending this in.
Update: The bug has since been fixed.
Comments made directly to Page walls during
the breakage period between the evenings of
September 2nd and 3rd still exhibit the issue
and do not show Like or comment buttons.
Posts from the breakage period appearing on a
Page’s wall because they were tagged now
correctly link to the full post showing Like and
comment buttons. All posts made after the
evening of September 3rd when the bug was
fixed are unaffected.

What is new at Facebook ? Facebook users can now attach photos to comments

Facebook users can now attach photos to comments

"The social network quietly launched a new feature Wednesday that lets users attach a photo when commenting on status updates. The tool appears to enable JPEG and PNG image files to be uploaded and inserted. Although animated GIFs can be uploaded, they'll display like a still image. Although not a direct stab at Twitter, the feature will give users an easy way to crowd-source images – something Twitter users have been able to do for a while. Facebook also introduced hashtags, another popular feature for Twitter users. And on Thursday, Facebook will hold an event at which it will reportedly bring video-sharing to the photo-sharing app Instagram. Vine, a video-sharing mobile application owned by Twitter, has rocketed to popularity since launching in January. On Wednesday, Twitter acquired Spindle, an iPhone app that enables users to see status updates from businesses near their current location."

Facebook comment threads are apparently a bit too calm, so the social network company's decided to mix things up with the addition of in-line image embeds starting today. But wait -- put down the link to your hottest GIF -- apparently the service only supports static images for now. And not everyone has it thus far, with the service only rolling out to folks who have a camera icon appear in the comment response field.

The functionality is rolling out on both web and mobile versions of Facebook; product engineer Bob Baldwin debuted the addition on his Facebook profile, where he said he built the image embedding "at a hackathon" with a gaggle of other FBers. Let us know in the comments below if you've already got it, and leave some pictures on the technology Facebook page!

Facebook Planing To Launch New Home On Android

Facebook just issued an invitation for another of its increasingly rapid product introductions, this time inviting the press to “Come See Our New Home on Android” on April 4.

 

 

 

 

 

No word yet precisely what this will be, but not surprisingly, speculation has already begun. Josh Constine at TechCrunch hears it could be a modified version of Google‘s Android mobile operating software with Facebook services built in. It might be installed on an HTC cell phone, he hears–a possibility that may be the source of those persistent rumors, also persistently denied by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, about a Facebook phone.

 A customized version of Android might help Facebook become more of a central service on smartphones than it can with simply an app that sits on top of Android. Facebook already offers communications-related services that are natural to mobile devices, such as Messenger, which allows for free Internet voice calls, at least on the iPhone. Constine also hears the project could be called “Facebook Home” since it would put news feed stories right on the home screen.There’s also speculation that Facebook could indeed announce its own phone. But given the stark denials by Zuckerberg–for the very good reason that Facebook wants to be on every phone, not just its own–this still seems highly doubtful.In any case, though, this is the clearest indication yet that Facebook is dead serious about making sure it’s as indispensable on smartphones and tablets as it has been on the desktop–especially since more people access it on mobile devices than desktops now. It has been particularly focused on providing new ad formats for mobile devices, and it’s a good bet that whatever it announces will provide for better opportunities for advertisers as well as Facebook users. It looks like Facebook's got an Android-related event up its sleeve next Thursday April 4th right here in the Bay Area. So, what's this about? A major revamp of Facebook's Android app? An Android-based Facebook phone like HTC's rumored Myst? Whatever it is, we'll obviously be there to liveblog the announcement in great detail, so be sure to tune in at 1PM ET (10AM PT). While focusing its recent efforts on features like Graph Search and News Feed, Facebook's been clear that mobile is a top priority for 2013. Let's just hope this event brings something more exciting to fruition than HTC's half-baked Status.

Facebook for Android gets ability to change cover photos, News Feed and messaging improvements -

 

 

➤ Facebook for Android

                                     Last week Facebook began offering automatic/silent updates to selected users on Android devices, now it’s returned to the regular Google Play route to add a series of new features that bring its Android app in line with recent changes to the iOS version.

 

 

Now Android-toting Facebook users are able to change their cover photo directly from the app, and — in an effort to avoid clutter — they’re also able to hide stories from their News Feed and report spam. That’s very much in tune with Facebook’s latest refresh of News Feed which highlights visuals and brings a unified look to all mobile and Web clients.

Additionally, the Android client now requires “fewer taps to start a group message”, continuing Facebook’s focus on its private messaging system. The company has made a number of changes to its standalone Messenger app — in a bid to compete with mobile chat apps — and it makes sense to give users more fluid control of messaging from within the dedicated Facebook mobile app itself. this updates first show in http://myandroidsoft.blogspot.com/ only.
