I Am Bismark

facebook being stupid

it appears that facebook has decided to no longer allow programs like MoodBlast (which i blogged about earlier) to remotely update my profile’s status. see this blog post:

this is idiotic. it was a wonderful and useful feature, and i loved doing it. i wrote the following message to facebook:

Up until recently, I have been using a wonderful little Mac app called MoodBlast to update my IM, Twitter, and Facebook statuses. Unfortunately, it appears that there has been some difficulty created to make this once very useful process no longer work with Facebook*. Is there an alternative way that remote updating of my Facebook status can be done? If not, why was such a useful feature taken away? I have been a loyal user of Facebook for a number of years, and I am concerned by this. Thank You.

*Here is the blog post from the developer of MoodBlast:
