It takes a while for a Facebook post to processed. When posted it shows up in the user's news stream. However, once the page is refreshed it might be a few minutes before the post is seen again. I watched a video where some developers were talking about the problems with getting feedback to the posting user and pushing the posts to different server farms around the world. A lot of posts take minutes to propagate.


That would mean that you should use vpn and get an American IP address, close to a FB datacenter.


To hack Facebook maybe first we need to understand how they do things.[1]
