Pebbles support for posting to Twitter was implemented before Twitter
introduced their oauth only authentication policy. It still tries to use a
username and password, which Twitter now disallows, hence it simply won't
work. A few years ago I had a look at what it would take to add OAuth
support, and found that the Twitter library that Pebble uses doesn't
support OAuth, and it didn't look like it ever would. Adding OAuth support
would probably require rewriting that plugin, and would require
implementing new actions to support doing the OAuth dance to get the access
token from Twitter for the account you want to post with. This is no small
task.
As far as I am aware, Pebble has never supported posting to Facebook. It
does support commenters getting their username and profile picture from
Facebook automatically associated with their posts, but that's all. This
is mostly done client side. Posting to Facebook would require server side
work, and would not be trivial.
What Pebble does support is rendering social links below a blog post, this
includes Twitter and Facebook I think, and when you click them brings up a
popup from those websites that let you share the link to the blog post.
These links are incredibly out of date, and include links to sites that no
longer exist. It needs to be updated by someone who is interested in using
these features still.
