twitter 1, facebook 0

It was a short but intense session earlier with a single goal -- create a simple addition to my suite of python routines to allow updating of status and/or posts to Facebook.

I've successfully done this for twitter, jaiku, virb and tumblr so I wasn't expecting any major glitches.

Wrong It seems the Facebook API doesn't allow for posting of anything except photos and from the entries I found in the developer's forum, it's an often requested feature that they are aware of. Other little nits: during different initial sessions they ask for new information about your profile to make it more secure and one of them about creating a security question.

No worries, I thought, easy enough -- I picked "what was your first concert?" and typed in my answer (and no, this isn't my answer for real :) but it seems they don't have many people on their testing team that like the group "Yes" as it never took the answer. It also never gave me any feedback that it was not a proper response. It just kept asking me the same question over and over.

anywho, just a quick note as to why I am thoroughly enjoying the openness of Twitters very flexible API.
