The link at the end of tweet is annoying
Please replace the link at the end of every tweets sent by buzzable with something that's more twitter friendly and not spammy.
Suggestion : #buzzable #*the name of the group*

Inappropriate?Thanks for the feedback.
Hash tags is a great idea. We'll think of a fix for the next build.
Our thought is that the link could be useful, because people can understand the context of the tweet. That said, the link in it's full form is a bit long (although we make it tiny/ leave it out if there is not room). In the next build, all links will be tiny.
What do you think about including the link vs. not including it? What if all links are tiny and appended only if there's room?
Best,

Here is the problem with this kind of service. The thing is, when we are 'buzzing', the conversations between the members of the group are only relevant to the group. So, when we have an auto-post turned on, the Tweets are becoming like spams, especially with the addition of buzzable's url. Soon it's gonna make other Twitter Users really annoyed, which will back-fire to you. Plurk did this recently with a new functionality to auto-post Plurk update to Facebook and Twitter. In the long run it won't do any good for your reputation.
I would suggest the following:
1. Put a shortened url (of the group) if there is space, but prefix it with 'via'. I think this will make it less intrusive.
2. For every reply, append @username of the person that the user reply to.
3. Make sure that the user 'aware', that auto-tweet is on 'by default' and give the option for them to turn it off.
4. Give option for every individual buzz to auto-tweet or not (as well as global one).
Hope this help.

Inappropriate?Short-term solution: we'll append a tinyurl for the group or thread IF there's room. We'll also add the @username in the beginning if it is a reply to a person.
We'll make this change ASAP and I'll reply in this thread once the change is made.
Auto-tweeting to Twitter
You can turn off autotweeting to twitter from your settings page (settings link on top bar). We'll work on a way to make your decision to auto-tweet more explicit and apparent.
We're sorry if there was any confusion about this, but we're really glad you brought this issue to our attention.
Once we come up with a better solution, i'll reply in this thread to hopefully get your reaction and suggestions again.
Thanks!

Inappropriate?Wow, that's a fast response. I'm sorry i can't respond fast enough.
I agree completely to mahadewa's suggestion. Plurk recently use both hastag #plurk and link to the plurk status at the end of every tweets sent by Plurk, and as Mahadewa said, it's spammy. We just don't want to annoy our followers. :)
Once again thanks for the fast response, buzzable is a nice product and i can't wait to see it getting better. :)
I’m happy
