Does the Android app use the publicize feature?
-
I was told I could ask this question here instead of the general support forums...
I recently upgraded to the Android 2.0 app and LOVE it! Well done!
I used the app to do a "quick photo" type post to my blog, where I had the publicize features recently enabled and verified. However, the blog entry I added was not shared to Facebook/Twitter.
I went in a little while later through the web site (on my computer) and added another post, and the publicize feature worked just fine.
Does anybody know if the publicize feature will work through the Android app? If not, that would be a great feature to add.

Well, I answered my own question. 8^D it does indeed work with the Android app. I did another quick photo type post and it showed up in my social streams shortly afterward. I think the problem I was having was that I recently swapped over to the "timeline" format for my homepage and it didn't show up there, but my wife pointed out the post in her news feed. I checked over on Twitter and I saw the link there as well.
It makes sense that things should function like so, I'm guessing the trigger to publicize a post sits on the servers themselves, and not with the application, so once you get publicize up and functional, you can post from anywhere to your blog and it will get out to your streams.

Yup, I use it all the time. Sometimes I have to upload a post as a draft first, then change it to publish and save it again so that publicize will pick up the picture and put it in the facebook post. Otherwise the picture wouldn't show up on fb.
