Update Your Facebook Status from the Command Line

The Facebook Developer Platform doesn’t give us the ability to set a user’s status so I decided to write my own method that would allow Facebook users to update their status messages without having to log into the website.

The first version that I wrote in 2006 was a little complicated. The script had to connect to several Facebook pages and collect cookies and challenge codes that were necessary to login and update the user’s status.

Facebook changed their login and status update mechanisms in version 2.0 breaking my original script. I’ve rewritten it to work with Facebook 2.0. It is now actually shorter because Facebook uses the user’s homepage as the central information area.

Any feedback is welcome. I plan to implement this in other utilities soon. Enjoy!

How do I update my Facebook status?

I'm not seeing the 'What are you doing?' line, so all I can do is post to my wall. Is there another way to update your status?

(Note: I'm not Facebook savvy at all, and it might be that I'm just doing something wrong. if I am, that'd be good to know, too.)::
Just type it in that big white box on the top of your page. The one that says "What's on your mind?" That white box is now multi functional, and used for status updates/wall post/photo uploads/most facebook functions.

How do I subscribe to my friends’ status updates?

In order to subscribe to your friends’ status updates, you must first make sure you have activated Facebook Mobile Texts on your mobile device. To activate Mobile Texts, go to the Mobile tab on the Account Settings page, click "Register for Facebook Text Messages," and complete the steps that follow. If your carrier is not listed in the drop-down menu it means that it is currently not supported for Facebook Mobile Text. We encourage you to talk to your mobile operator to let them know that you are interested in this service.

After you’ve activated Facebook texts, you can subscribe to a friend’s status updates by going to his or her profile and clicking the "Subscribe to SMS updates" link beneath the profile picture. You can also manage your subscriptions from the SMS Subscriptions tab of your Edit Friends page.

How do I add a new number or switch numbers?

You can go to the Mobile tab of your Account Settings page to add, remove, or switch numbers.

If you already have a mobile number on the account, you can click "Add another phone" to activate another number for Mobile texts, or remove your existing number by clicking "remove" next to the number you wish to remove.

If you have more than one number registered on your account for Mobile Texts, you will have the ability to choose which number you want to send your Mobile Texts to. Simply select the mobile number you want to receive your texts to in the "Send texts to" drop-down menu at the bottom of this page.

I didn’t receive a confirmation code to activate Mobile Texts

First, check the Mobile page for more information about whether your carrier is supported. Your carrier is supported if it is listed in the drop-down menu that appears when you click "Sign Up for Facebook Text Messages."

If your carrier is not supported, we encourage you to contact your carrier to let them know that you are interested in this service. If enough people show interest, they may decide to support our Mobile Texts feature. For now, please note that you can use our Mobile Uploads feature to upload photos, videos, and notes directly from your phone. You should also be able to access your account via Mobile Web at m.facebook.com or iphone.facebook.com for iPhones.

If your carrier is supported, please read the following guidelines to troubleshoot your problem:

Be sure you are sending your text to the correct number for your carrier.
Make sure that your phone does not include a signature at the end of your text messages. This can interfere with Facebook Mobile correspondence.
Try sending "On" (without quotes) instead of "f" to receive your code.
If you have recently ported your number from a different carrier, you may not be able to receive the confirmation code to activate Mobile Texts. This is a problem that we are aware of and hope to resolve it as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience.


If none of the above information resolves your issue, please click here to submit a report about your issue.

My carrier is not supported for Facebook Mobile Texts.

If you find that your carrier is not listed in the drop-down menu in Step 1 of the activation process, it means that your carrier is not currently supported for Facebook Mobile Texts. We encourage you to talk to your mobile operator to let them know that you are interested in this service.

You can also submit a carrier suggestion here. Please note that although we are reading your suggestions, we cannot guarantee that your carrier will join Facebook Mobile Texts.
