FriendFeed will now update your Facebook status when you update your FriendFeed status (or statuses pulled into FriendFeed from other networks like Twitter)! - http://www.facebook.com/apps...

There seem to be no official news so I've posted this as I've just found it on Facebook. Is this a good or bad thing? If I didn't want this but still wanted FB to import my FF posts what would I do? Basically I'm after a filter of what is imported from FriendFeed to FB. I'd like to filter out @replies and certain services. I don't want GReader posts being imported from FF to FB, can I filter these without affecting FF or GReader? - Kol Tregaskes
Quote from the comments: "The reason for this change is the old Facebook API methods the application used are being deprecated very soon: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index... If you don't want FriendFeed updating your status please uninstall the application or revoke permissions at: http://www.facebook.com/editapp..." - Kol Tregaskes
i've been doing this from my FF settings for a awhile. - Thom Kennon
No, it's been importing the status updates but they've not been turned into FB status updates. That is the difference. Bill, works fine see here: http://www.facebook.com/koltreg... - Kol Tregaskes
Actually it appears to be a half-worked job. The imported status updates from Twitter via FF in FB still have the FF icon and it seems that is putting people off. The imports need to be turned into proper native FB updates. These imported updates could also be in people's filters. - Kol Tregaskes
Do. Not. Want.... I stopped Twitter updating my FB status because my FB friends complained I was making their streams too noisy. I want to cross-post my FF stream into my FB stream, but now there doesn't seem to be a way to prevent FF from making a status updates without disabling the whole app... - Andrew Terry
What the heck is a FriendFeed status? - Michael R. Bernstein
Starting a thread, no more, no less. - Richard A.
I'd rather continue to syndicate into FB from here using the feed. I like the idea that each one is a little advertising link for my FB peeps to click and find out about Friendfeed, - Thom Kennon
Michael, anything that is a status update, such as Twitter and Gtalk. if you post a tweet and it comes into FF it will then go into FB as a 'FB status update' but it's not a native FB entry and still had the FF icon which is annoying. :-( - Kol Tregaskes
Kol: the FriendFeed icon is there because the story (or status update) was created via the FriendFeed application. There is no way for us or you to remove that icon. It is for all intents and purposes a "native" FB entry - Benjamin Golub
I love that the friendFeed team is still working on updates. Any chance you can make it on a "per-update" basis though? For instance, I don't like Twitter going to Facebook, but I may not mind others. Or, at a minimum, I'd love to check a box on my Friendfeed status and have it go to Facebook instead of Twitter. - Jesse Stay
I've noticed one slight difference between application posts and native (link) posts.. The "view in applicationx" replaces the share button, which makes sharing an application posted link a multi-step process!! - Chris Myles
Benjamin, so will these updates appear on the status updates filter: http://www.facebook.com/home...? I can't see any atm. Also, I'm still after filtering out each service from FriendFeed in FB, e.g. Google Reader, etc. and also @replies. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Kol: the status update filter I don't think will work on them. But the app filter does: http://www.facebook.com/home... - Benjamin Golub
Benjamin, yeah already have that filter. This is what I mean but it not being a true FB status update. If people filter on status updates they won't see the imported FF updates. - Kol Tregaskes
Thanks for all comments! Yes, I definitely do not like the same things, posted simultaneously, from 1 person, to all accounts. May be I am ancient,hm :( - Slavomira Vladimirova
What Andrew Terry said. - Anthony Citrano
My facebook people and my friendfeed people get completely different input from me. Totally different audiences. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
m9m .. I agree!! My friends would be overwhelmed by my geekness!! - Chris Myles
I wish this had an off switch, or at least would only pick things up with some hashtag. - Chris Granade
That would certainly help.. or by allowing you to share only a group feed so you can configure it automatically based on services and via the bookmarklet/status TO: values. (i.e. cmyles-facebook). - Chris Myles
Nice. Now I have enough way to update Facebook. I already use TweetDeck Ping.fm and selective tweets from Twitter. Now I can add this to my list. LOL - Patrick from twhirl
FB ha comprado FF/ FB bought FF / FB a acheté FF alors.... - ladeloslibros
