Add barcode scanning

I'd like to be able to scan the barcodes on food at my local grocery store to get more info on the ingredients, food miles and other ecological information to make my purchases smarter.

ping.fm not updating my friendfeed account

ping has stopped updating my friendfeed account. even though it shows up under recent posts as having made it to FF, it's not actually there. I don't know who is to blame, but seems like Ping is at fault for reporting success without verifying

update: I just removed friendfeed from my ping profile and tried to add it back but it says it cannot authenticate. i'm definitely using the correct login information.

check out this statement on the new landing page

my drop is still zipping after THREE WEEKS!?

Several weeks ago I tried to zip my archive and download it. The drop still reports: "System Message: Your drop is currently being zipped. After a few minutes, refresh and your zip file will appear inside the drop." the drop is /miekatundepics and there's no way i can download each one individually

Baratunde Thurston replied on August 04, 2008 01:38 to the idea "Add Last.fm to the list of supported sites..." in Ping.fm:

I agree with this.

This would be great for musicians who use last.fm, not as much for listening users. Musicians must manage their profiles on several social networks. This could reduce the headache and management time.

I'd want to be able to

- post journal entries
- eventually update multiple calendars (for gigs) across myspace, facebook, ilike/garageband and last.fm
