How to Make the Name Tagging Work in Facebook Posts on TweetDeck
You can manage your Facebook account through the desktop TweetDeck software. TweetDeck supports most of the features found on Facebook, including tagging a Facebook friend in your status updates and posts. However, an authorization error can occur between TweetDeck and Facebook that disables your ability to manage most Facebook features through the TweetDeck software, including tagging. The authorization error comes from a glitch in the connection between TweetDeck and Facebook. By correcting this error, you can start name tagging through TweetDeck again.
