Hi. As some of you know, I noticed last week that my AR blog posts were not showing up on my Twitter and Facebook Accounts. I am perplexed because I haven't changed any of my settings, etc. I have spent days trying to recheck everything, find out what is going on, etc. So far, I have gotten these responses, that I thought I would share with you all. I doubt I am on the only one with these issues...let me know!
Activerain Help Desk:
Automatic syndication of content to Twitter is broken; they changed their authentication API and we haven't had time to update our systems. I have no ETA for a fix at this time and apologize for the inconvenience.
Twitter Response:
Twitter recently stopped supporting basic authentication over RSS, which may be causing the errors you're seeing in your RSS reader. We stopped supporting basic authentication in favor of OAuth, an authentication method that lets you use applications without giving them your password. You can read more about the change here: http://blog.twitter.com/2010/08/twitter-applications-and-oauth.html
Because of this change, we no longer directly support RSS feeds on Twitter. If you would like to continue using RSS feeds from Twitter accounts, we recommend using a 3rd-party service, or, if you are comfortable with coding, using our developer resources to retrieve statuses. The following link provides information about how to use OAuth to retrieve statuses:

Please note that you will first need to sign up for a Twitter application if you would like to use the method linked above. You can sign up for an app here:

Let us know if you encounter any further issues. Thanks!
Sincerely,
liam

From the info above, I would think that my AR posts should still show up on Facebook though, right? When I checked and tried to redo my "import a blog" within Facebook, they said they couldn't recognize my AR blog URL,and the import failed.
Any help or assistance would be appreciated. Apparently, my blog posts stopped transferring to FB and Twitter on Sept 1 or Sept 2nd.
Thanks!
