BBCG Blog Will Test New Sharing Button

with one comment

This BBCG blog is going to test the below sharing service and see if it is better than just an individual Facebook or Twitter link. As you will see if you hover over it with your mouse, virtually every social media is available.  If you don’t see your favorite service in the initial list, click on the “More” selection and an extended list will appear.

Minor Bug Between Facebook and Twitterfeed.com

with one comment

Posts are getting to Facebook directly from the BBCG blog RSS feed. However, Facebook has a quirk in the way these Twitterfeed.com forwards are handled. Unlike other links on Facebook, the blog post titles (i.e., a link) in these forwards do not get handled directly. Facebook handles the link via an intermediary URL (i.e., actually some kind of PHP call code) before directing the user to a final location.

The problem: can’t get back to the original Facebook location. Browser back button will only get you back to the intermediary URL which then directs you automatically to the final location. Puts you in an endless loop.

Use your browser history or other method to access Facebook directly if you find this happening. Your log-in should still be valid.

Notified Facebook support today about this issue.
