Preferences

See the general preferences page for a list of preferences that apply to all (or most) commands.

Notes

  • Sometimes it takes Facebook a few minutes to post a Link story to your stream
  • Facebook will extract the page title and a blurb from the page and include it in the post.  If you don't like this behaviour, use the POST command
  • FEEDLINK requires extended PUBLISH permissions: click (here) to grant fbcmd the PUBLISH permissions

Examples
