Fix your Facebook application, WordPress.

So I’ve started to get back into the groove of blogging, and I went to Facebook to see if I can do that thing where everytime I publish a new post, it shows up on my News Feed. So I went to my WordPress application on Facebook, and chose the settings that would allow me to do so….except, nothing happens.

I went to the application page and it turns out, many people are experiencing the same problem too. In a discussion board entitled “Post from WordPress not showing up”, 19 people have reported the experiencing the same problem, but as I read the posts I was dissapointed with the fact that no one from WordPress bothered to respond to the discussion.

The first post was on Feb 3rd, and I feel that some sort of response would be better than none. Even a “We’re sorry you’re experiencing this problem, but we’re working on it and will let you know as soon as the problem is fixed” would be great. Apparently there are other things wrong with the application besides the one I mentioned too.

I’m not sure if WordPress created this app, but if they did, they should know better than to just leave their customers (not customers per se since we don’t pay, but for lack of a better word customers will do) hanging. They should be using this channel to address problems and create open channels of communication with their customers. One could argue that perhaps they are not using the application page to communicate with their customers, but given that the option to leave posts and create discussion boards is open for people to use, they should be covering all their bases right?

So WordPress, whaddup? Do something already. As one Facebook user says, rather politely or perhaps with a tinge of sarcasm: “Could be great, but it seems the developer is MIA nowadays”.
