German term or phrase: Face book term: Pinnwand-Dialog

I'm doing a translation for publication that contains several Facebook terms. I'm not a member of Facebook and I'm having problems finding the exact terms via Google.

The context here is: 12. Januar um 13:30 • Kommentieren • Gefällt mir • Pinwand-Dialog

I have translated this as: Comment • I like it • Pinboard discussion - but googling seems to indicate that "wall" rather than "pinboard" might be the correct Facebook term. Can anyone help?

English translation:Wall-to-wall

Explanation:
I think this is called Wall-to-wall: someone posts on my Wall and I post back. Let me try to switch FB to German and I'll get back to you.

Pinnwand is Wall, but "Pinnwand-Dialog ansehen" is "See Wall-to-Wall" (note capitalization).

I just looked up the translation of that exact line:

Wall posts

Explanation:
I have changed the language settings from German to English and the section "Pinnwand" is now headed "Wall". Whenever you write something onto the "Wall" of one of your "friends", that is called a "post"
