Hi Daniel, I just found out that the new BNO news app hit the appstore and that a way to get our complementary alert subscription was put in place. I ́ve just sent my UDID via the Ad Hoc Helper program and am now awaiting your email... – text, on October 06, 2009 21:16

The new Google Reader "sent to" functionality should also contain an "automatically" feature.

The new Google Reader "sent to" functionality should also contain an "automatically" feature.
If I wish to sent all my shared items to twitter the moment I share them this should be possible (without me having to do a specific set of actions for each item)

Good idea; Some time I was thinking the same and searched a bit around.
Until these mails show up in Gmail you can see your emailed reader items via:

http://www.google.com/reader/view/#st.../user/xxx/state/com.google/tracking-emailed

...where the "xxx"-part of this URL should be replaced by your greader id (you ́ll find your greader id when you go to the "your shared items" tab and look at the url)

Andrew,

The issue at hand is not solely about whether $12/year is a good price for the services offered by the BNO News app; it might be a good price (but, on the other hand I bet that within a year we ́ll have even better iPhone Twitter clients that support push notification + auto-refreshed search)

This issue is also about the disappointment of buyers who were not aware of this subscription fee, because it wasn ́t stated in the app store description.

BNO News and/or BitMethod should seize this momentum of disappointment by rewarding these early buyers; these people are your biggest fans; they shouldn ́t abandon them with statements suggestion they should ́ve better informed themselves.
It ́s not about whether BNO News and/or BitMethod can "proof" that they ́ve done enough;
It ́s about what they will do /now/ to comfort their early clients.

Rewarding these early buyers would be my suggestion; The reward could be a free subscription for an extra 3 months.
Linking to Apple ́s procedure to get a refund is another.

When I bought this app I wasn ́t aware of a monthly subscriptione fee;
(I have never read your official statements)
I would probably not have bought this app when I had known this in advance.

Come on, be generous, and reward the early buyers (the ones that bought the app before you published /this/ statement) with an extended free subscription of, say 3 months.

Thanks in advance,

Cheers,
Peter Huesken

Does anyone has an update about when Loopt will be available in other app stores ?
Preferably the Dutch/Netherlands app store ?
And, if I ́d download Loopt from the US app store, will it work in the Netherlands?

Thanks in advance.

"paste and go" and "CTRL+L", combined !

Google Chrome has a nice "paste and go" feature. But what I ́d really like is a keyboard shortcut of combination "paste and go" and "CTRL+L",
This would enable you to directly open an URL on your clipboard.

In Google Shared Stuff we should have a RSS feed for the "Shared Stuff from People You Know" page

Google Shared Stuff (http://www.google.com/s2/sharing/stuff) offers some nice functionality but currently lacks a RSS feed for the "Shared Stuff from People You Know" page (as the "Your Shared Stuff" and "Most Popular Shared Stuff" pages have)

What ́s the easiest way to embed Google Maps in Gmail ?

It ́s easy to sent a link to a Google Map via Gmail (although it would be really nice if Google would adopt a short url scheme for these kind of links, like: "maps.google.com/xxxxx")
.
But how do you sent an embedded Google Map via Gmail ?
Just a picture of the Google Map can be achieved via the Better Gmail firefox extension (which, amongst other nice things, enables HTML signatures), screenprint and Signature adjustments.

I haven ́t been able (yet) to make the Gmail signature field accept the Gmaps embed html
(It might be that the "iframe" statement is the cause and/or the length of the actual embedded html.)
Google should of course offer this, as an extra option, on their Gmaps page.

Great product so far; but what do I do when I don ́t manage to get a connection?

There ́s no online help that covers this; I ́ve tried to log-out/log-in, without result. Most of the time it works fine,
but at times this is really annoying.

What can I do to improve this situation?
