I'd love to see Yoono move to the iPhone/iPod as well.. I have loved Yoono in the sidebar, love it as the desktop app and it'd be great if that state is synced to my iPhone too!
Btw, why aren't you guys using Adobe Air for the app, so more platforms can enjoy your cool app on the desktop? Also, consider using OpenID's for authentication instead of yet another user/pass to remember.. I love being able to authenticate myself using my Google ID wherever I go..
Other than that, Keep it up!!
Oh yeah, you said no definite timeframe on the iPhone app, but any chance you could give us an indication? Days? Weeks? Months? ... Years? :P I've seen too many developers say: Yeah its coming, and then four years later, still no development (think Linux/Mac support for Digsby was said to be "coming soon" several years back).. Hope to hear about the developments!-

Bill Palmer's reply to "Dashboard doesn't work" was just promoted to the most useful! appie and 2 other people think it's one of the best replies.
appie shared an idea in FriendBinder on October 30, 2009 04:56:
Using spacebar to progress through news feedFirst of all, hats off.. You guys are EXACTLY on track with what I want a "social aggregator" to do.. It consolidates all my FRIEND'S activity into a nice and easy to manage stream and does this even with giving an "interestingness" level to it.. Absolutely perfect and the only of it's kind that I've seen around (and trust me, I've tried MANY)..
One thing that I loved in a product called "Streamy" is that while browsing a feed (although it does this in multiple pages, and not aggregated like yours does) is that I can browse through my stream by pressing the "space bar".. Everytime, I hit space, the top entry disappears and the older entries scroll up. Streamy doesnt remember this tho, and viewed entries get displayed with every refresh of the page, but the easy progressing through my stream was perfect..
Any chance we could see something like that for Friendbinder as well?

Only my own Flickr pics in my streamWhen I view my Cliqset "Home" page, I only see Flickr images I've posted.. It doesnt show me anything any of my friends posted.. Also for Twitter, I get nothing in my update list.. Then again, I havent posted anything myself.. Does it filter only things I myself have posted? I thought it was supposed to aggregate what my friends are talking about too?

Very happy to see you guys responded and that it was a matter of the team being off-site :) Hope you guys had a good time!
As for the 'spacebar' feature, take a look at what Streamy does.. It works great up to the point of you refreshing or changing pages.. What happens is a list of all your latest "news items" (or facebook/twitter/etc) is shown and every time you press the spacebar, the newest entry gets "hidden" and the older entries move up, so you can sort of make your way through all your entries. This is a very intuitive way of going through your articles. When I consider all the social networking sites that I'm part of, it is hard for me to keep track up to what point I've already seen all the entries and sometimes find myself browsing through older entries and think: "Hey, havent I already read this, or did they just re-forward this to me?". By "hiding" those entries, I'm aware of what I've read.
A few points of interest. I've seen on several sites that they have a way of selecting an entry as "read later". When I like the entry but have no time to watch the video, do the reading and forwarding, play around with a website or just want to look at it again later, I'd press the "read later" link and it gets stored somewhere easy for me to access at a later point. This might be something to consider as well.
There were 2 major problems with the way Streamy handles their "browsing by spacebar" method, which you may want to pay attention to when and if you're implementing it:
1) When browsing to another page, or when refreshing the current page, the "hidden" entries reappear as if I'd never read them.. I guess they dont store the entries on their own servers and therefore just dont pay attention to the hidden state of those entries beyond the viewing of the current page. This might be circumvented by keeping a state stored somewhere on your servers, even if it is just a timestamp of "up to when have you read the entries".. Not as neat as remembering every entry's state, but perhaps simpler on the server-side.
2) When browsing through the entries, only the last - say - 20 entries are shown. When I press space 20 times, all entries disappear from the page, but no new ones are read. This has to do with the fact that their "load 20 more entries" function is saved at the bottom of the 20 entries and therefore never gets "hit". By scrolling down and up again, the 20 next entries were loaded.
Just some thoughts.. As for Facebook and Myspace pulling, I cant wait.. Its what I more or less use these services for, and hope to see many more pulling services appear in the near future!
Keep up the great work and will take a look at Flickr "pull" support! :)
