We have received numerous reports of excessive FriendFeed posts showing up in Facebook this evening. While we are not 100% sure, it appears to be an issue on Facebook's end due to ignoring application settings. We have disabled all FriendFeed updates to Facebook until we are sure the problem is resolved.

See http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... for more information - it seems to also have impacted Twitter's Facebook app. Again, we are not sure if it is a problem on our end or not, but we are investigating now.

Thanks Bret! FWIW when I checked the FF app settings in FB they were not the same options as I saw when I first set the app up.

Click. Flip a switch and that's it. You guys rule.

Thanks, Bret. I've disabled it on my FB page and hope that cures what ails me. Appreciate the FF peeps being on top of it.

Yet another reason I'm happy I don't have a FaceBook. :P

Good thing I only posted once to Twitter tonight. The duplication only happened once. Thanks for letting me know.
- Louis Gray
Yay for communicative admins!

No problem, if I knew it was on your end, I wouldn't have cared, but thanks for letting me know about the situation. I was confused because it happened right as I was trying out a new twitter game. This was compounded by the fact that the game has no controls for turning off public messages. I'll bet they plan to add them later, but right now they want everyone to hear about it. It’s a bad strategy which most likely will backfire on them. This situation could have been a lot worse. I was talking about a girl I was having problems with on Facebook over here. I did this knowing she would never see the comments, but imagine if she did. What a nightmare that would have been. In a situation like this, my mom would always say, “no harm, no foul” which sums it up well.

Is it fixed? I'm afraid to go look:)
- Michael Fidler
So, is it fixed?Every tweet, every everything is showing up as individual news feed posts for all my friends, this is too much and I'm likely to piss them all off. Options ... 1.Stop tweeting etc. 2.Ditch the FF Facebook application. Hmmm, it's a no brainer. Anyone got any updates on this?
