Facebook has fallen and it can't get up

(BUMPED: As Facebook can't seem to get its act together, I'm bumping this post in the hopes that someone senior at Facebook gets a clue. Some of our readers have asked if Facebook is now striking out against liberal blogs, now that their new general counsel is Alberto Gonzales' former chief of staff. It is an interesting coincidence, what with Facebook banning AMERICAblog blog content on our Facebook page just two weeks before the election. Read on.)

I was all fascinated, a while back, about Facebook and how that kid had organized 100,000 Obama supporters all by himself. I thought Facebook might be a neat place to organize our folks.

Now I'm thinking, not so much.

For some reason, Facebook decided to ban our RSS feed over nine days ago - it's how we were feeding our blog posts to our friends on Facebook. No warning, just banned it. And they won't let it back. I've asked our Facebook contact to help, and he's tried, but, well, it's been 9 12 days. The election is in 18 15 days and we're running out of time. At this point, don't count on getting our blog updates via Facebook as the company obviously can't be counted on.

As an aside, when Google/Blogger has problems, they try to fix them immediately, and are always responsive - perhaps they could teach a thing or two to Facebook.

Anyway, as Facebook doesn't seem to be doing anything to fix this, it was time to give you guys a heads up that you shouldn't count on Facebook for much of anything at this point. Use our Twitter feed instead - all of our posts go there:
