Question

I wrote a small message and I posted to facebook wall. When I try to view this post message using the following code to search post messages:

public Connection<Post> searchMessages() {
    Connection<Post> messages = publicFbClient.fetchConnection("search",
            Post.class,
            Parameter.with("q", "Testing"),
            Parameter.with("limit", "100"),
            Parameter.with("type", "post"));
}

I don’t see the message(s) immediately after posting, but are seen after a little while. Is there a delay in fetching FB messages, if so how much OR is there a problem with my query being issued from a certain timezone?

Answer 1

1000’s of messages waiting to get served i.e. to get displayed. So some delay is bound to happen. Similar behavior as SO where after posting your question, there is a delay when it appears to everyone.

So this does not depend on the time zone but on the load on the servers..
