Facebook “dislikes” posts from external applications. It’s not written anywhere, but I can tell from the statistics and an experiment.

The experiment is as follows: I open two Facebook accounts. One is mine, and the other where I am marked as “close friends” (i.e., the feed includes 100% of my posts + there is an active notification when I write something).

Next, I make two status updates, one through posting on a WordPress blog, and the other in the classic way through the FB interface. In both cases, the posts appear on my page, marked as Public. On the second Facebook a) no notifications arrive about the posts from WordPress, b) my post from WordPress is not visible in the news feed. The classic post, however, works perfectly.

Maybe someone knows where the snag is?.. An option is to disassociate from FB and duplicate posts there and here too, but perhaps, there’s a checkbox somewhere that if checked, everything will work perfectly?
