Sharing your Spotify music on Facebook can be a little embarrassing. No biggie, just go private or deactivate Facebook from Spotify, right? Not quite! A bug in Spotify’s client was logging users back into Facebook, even after they’d deactivated the service.
Some time after the launch of Facebook’s new sharing platform, the Spotify client began logging users back into Facebook each time it launched, even after they’d specifically logged out. The bug’s since been fixed, and apparently happened because Spotify had released several versions of its client in quick succession to add features like Private Listening.
So if you disconnected Facebook from Spotify some time ago and aren’t the most attentive person in the world, you might want to check back and make sure you’re still logged out. [All Things D via Techmeme]

I use facebook heavily for social media marketing so have it open all the time at work – I just find it annoying to see what everyone’s listening too all day. Does anyone know how to disable spotify updates on the ticker?
yeh man, at least to stop yours from posting,
facebook—-go to account settings,
in left plane, go to apps,
choose the “edit” next to spotify,
then cross off “add app activity to ticker”
it appears to remove all spotify activity (mabe none of my friends are using spotify atm tho :S
