Here is his reply:

To answer your question, we post as a regular registered app to Facebook, using the API.

Facebook uses some advanced (and undisclosed, as far as I know) algorithms to determine the “importance” of updates, both on a user’s timeline as well as in your friends’ news feeds. They take things into account like popularity of the app, posting frequency, how many users report such posts from an app as spam etc. This also might influence whether FB groups updates from an app in a box, or displays them individually.

On my own timeline, Foursquare posts a grouped like this, but when I hover the box, there’s an edit button at the top right, where I can select “View as individual stories” – so maybe you can “train” FB to not do the boxing for Wordbooker on your timeline at least?

Hope this helps!

Steve,

We are not talking about the same thing. Let me try to explain more clearly. I am not looking for Wordbooker to automatically feature a post. I am more than happy to manually click on the “Feature” option.

The issue is as follows:
* When I post directly on my wall, that post gets its own window that can be featured.
* When I post through Seesmic on my wall, that post gets its own window that can be featured.

However, when I post through Wordbooker, all the Wordbooker posts go in a Wordbooker box instead of getting their own independent window in Timeline and that box cannot be featured.

If I post to a regular fan page, it still has the proper behavior of looking like a traditional wall post, but in timeline it really does not work.

Given that Seesmic is seemingly making its posts look like traditional wall posts I suspect there is a way Wordbooker can do the same.

Let me know if you want screenshots of what I am describing to make it clearer.

It’s actually possible. I just posted from Seesmic into Facebook and it allowed me to feature it. Let me know if you want to talk to the Seesmic CTO…

Thanks it worked!

And the fix is?

I did already with no success ??

They have 500 million uniques but you may want to wait to see what happens in the next 6 months as Facebook Comments seems to be taking some share.

I take it, Wordbooker does not work with Facebook Comments either?

Thanks Steve!

It did not change the version diplayed in my plugins (I had the latest official version). I will let you know if it worked in a few hours.
