This post will be of interest mostly to our users posting feeds to their Facebook accounts or pages - so if you’re only posting to Twitter and have no plans to post your content to Facebook also, you can safely ignore it.

We have today updated our Facebook Connection code to use the newer Graph API, which - in plain English - has the following advantages for you:

• the “Connect with Facebook” dialog is much simpler, and less prone to problems
• by default, posts to Facebook now include a thumbnail image, something many of you have asked for

If you have any existing feeds set up posting to Facebook, they will continue to work, but will not take advantage of the above, so it is highly recommended you update your feeds. Updating the Facebook connection is very easy:

1. click on “edit” next to the feed you want to update
2. Under “Step 2”, click on the active “Facebook” account/link
3. you should see a note saying your Facebook connection is out of date - to update, just click “Connect with Facebook” again
4. Once connected, if you’re the admin of one or more pages, you will also see a dropdown list of pages. If you select one of these pages, we will post to that page, rather than to your own account.
5. Click “Update service” and “All done” on the next page, and your Facebook connection is up to date.

A final note: the thumbnail image feature is only available with normal Wall posts, not with the shorter Facebook status updates, so if you want to take advantage of this, make sure you keep the default “post title & description” (under “Advanced Settings”). If you change this to “title only”, we will post a short, text-only status update to Facebook rather than a Wall post.

We hope you like these improvements, but as ever, if you find any problems with it, let us know at support@twitterfeed.com.

Your twitterfeeders.
