Re: [ubuntu-uk] Gwibber Facebook updates

not tried them (other than Gwibber). ALthough it could be a problem with the Facebook API meaning that Gwibber is not receiving Facebook updates because of Facebook, maybe even Facebook changed something in the way their feeds go out to software through their API. David K -- ubuntu-uk
