In fact, we just scheduled in this feature as part of the next week's work.
Are there any other sites you'd like us to include?-

Hey, that looks like an interesting site. It's pretty simple to grab the videos from it, too.
Hopefully we'll soon add support for lots of simple sites like this - simply grabbing the embed code from the page, as well as the title and description from the HTML.
When we do that, tapespace should be supported.
We also discussed this kind of thing on the topic here:

Good idea. We agree, and this is all part of the plan.
The tricky bit of handling random sites is not so much the video, but the title, description and image. We've found these are pretty important in amplus. -

Twitter, I'm disappointed.
Isn't sender-pays the dominent SMS revenue model in most of the world? Expecting to cut a deal in those countries seems naive.
I've been on your service in the UK for 2 years, and I thought you were committed to building an international business. It seems you need to understand/care a little more about the world beyond America. We've been saying for a while that your revenue model looked unsustainable. Switching off SMS overnight is pretty unreasonable.
On the other hand, you clearly can't keep footing the bill for SMS.
A suggestion:
1. Turn SMS back on for a few weeks
2. Introduce a premium option, and take the message limit for free accounts right down to the point where it represents a reasonable acquisition cost ~10 messages a month might be enough to get lots of people hooked and upgrading. -
adrideo reported a problem in British Airways on August 01, 2008 18:28:
No way to correct booking mistakesI made a mistake yesterday, booking a codeshare flight operated by Iberia, rather than a British Airways-operated sector. With all the fluff about travel insurance upsells and carbon offsetting it was a fairly easy mistake to make, but it was my mistake.
I called BA back less than 24 hours later, hoping to change to an earlier or later BA-operated flight, but was told this would cost £40 per passenger - no exceptions. Apparently the carrier operating the flight is immaterial. This seems a bit hypocritical when they spend money on stuff like this.
I'm a loyal BA customer. I choose them over budget carriers despite a considerable price difference because I value the in-flight service. I don't take that view about many full-fat carriers, and certainly not Iberia. -
adrideo reported a problem in Apple on July 28, 2008 16:07:
Flickering screenThe screen on our old G4 sometimes flickers pretty badly, occasionally the whole screen goes dark. The problems tends to occur after a couple of hours of use, but can occur just after power-up.
Maybe a dodgy blub? Is there a repair that can fix this?
