Facebook, your user interface is horrible

Lately I’ve noticed several of my friends’ posts on Facebook are tagged with a Twitter icon, and most of the updates I want to post are small, so I figured I’d give it a try. Searched for Twitter on FB and got two apps, Twitter and Selective Tweets. First I tried installing Twitter, but when I enter my name and password, it gives me an error, ‘Oops! Something went wrong: Invalid credentials Invalid user name or password.’ Of course, both are correct.

Now for that special Facebook touch – I click on Applications on the left side and it lists both Twitter and Selective Tweets under My Applications, but neither of them are active and there’s no way to remove them!

The Facebook FAQs aren’t helpful as they say there’s an Applications button near my chat button, which there isn’t, and it’s the place to go to delete apps. I think it more likely you can’t delete an app unless it’s been configured and activated, which of course I can’t do because the API is broken. I’ve tried this off and on for three days now!
