Yep. I'm guessing facebook is rejecting all messages from gwibber at the same time it is refusing to pull down data from the API.

The Facebook API for clients to interact with it is a bit crap.

Comment 11 David Woodhouse 2010-10-28 10:13:20 UTC 
I'm still seeing the occasional facebook failure, without any form of user notification. Should I file a separate bug for the lack of error handling?

And then when I get details of the occasional failures, I'll file that too of course.
Comment 12 Tom "spot" Callaway 2010-10-28 14:17:11 UTC 
Yeah, that's a separate bug (it may not be easily done, depending on how poor the facebook API is).
