      1. Kathy Jacobs  Where are you seeing information that they are blocking it already?

        1. Flavio  besides that the app don’t work, also the Twitter blog at http://blog.twitter.com/2010/06/following-your-friends-and-colleagues.html states that it’s an issue on Facebook ends. Plus TechCrunch previously said that Twitter worked alone on this, and assumes it’s a Facebook block on http://techcrunch.com/2010/06/23/facebook-blocks-twitter

Based on the “overcapacity” notice I am getting on TweetDeck, it looks more like a Twitter problem. Eager to see what happens when I merge the two pieces of my social graph!

        1. Kathy Jacobs  TechCrunch’s second post has been updated to say that it doesn’t appear that Facebook intentionally blocked. Learn more at http://techcrunch.com/2010/06/23/facebook-blocks-twitter
