Facebook updates not showing up for me...

I've removed and re-added Facebook half a dozen times, and I cannot get Facebook updates to show anymore. Any idea?

Works, thanks! I hope all these issues the last couple days mean you guys are getting closer to rolling out the 'new socialthing'! :)

lifestream: There was an error processing your request

Well, now the feed started updating for a couple hours, but now it says: "lifestream: There was an error processing your request" when I log in. Ideas?

beanj007 reported a problem in Socialthing on May 11, 2009 14:04:

Completely stopped updating for me?

As of 4:00PM EST Saturday, Socialthing completely stopped updating all feeds for me. I've signed out, back in, different PCs, removed and re-added Twitter/Facebook, etc... nothing. Just sits there, no updates. Any ideas?

Pingle has some 'issues'. I beta'd it, and downloaded it day 1. The problems are mostly with uploading of pictures, however... it's a great app for text updates, but picture posting is practically broken.

I recommend using Tweetie, which is a Twitter client, but allows you to post with your default Ping.fm settings as well.

The iPhone has allowed 1600x1200 photo uploads/emails since a couple firmware versions ago. – beanj007, on April 19, 2009 22:50

I think it's time for an update, guys...

Socialthing has gone dark for 4 1/2 months since the AOL purchase, and I've still been using the service daily. I know you guys are in the midst of fully revamping, and you guys are still leaps and bounds above Tweetdeck/Twhirl/Friendfeed in my opinion, but can we at least get a blog post or something? At least confirmation someone is working on this awesome new site? :)

Thanks!

Shorten links with bit.ly or other services?

How about offering the ability to shorten links with bit.ly or other services? The tracking/stats that bit.ly offers is really handy. Thoughts?

Agreed... Twitpic would be great.

beanj007 replied on April 10, 2009 14:32 to the problem "can't post full sized image" in Curious Squid:

I actually moved from Pingle to Tweetie because of this issue.

Pingle seems to just have image issues all-around. But, especially if you try to attach full-sized 1600x1200 pics. 75% of the time I try to attach a picture in Pingle, it either tries to attach forever, or just posts the message with no picture link. This is kind of an app-breaking issue for me. I've emailed support and Robert directly with this issue, and gotten no response.

Please fix?

Twitpic picture hosting?

How about giving support for Twitpic for picture hosting? I like my friends to be able to immediately see it's a pic I'm linking rather than a website, and some are complaining they are having trouble viewing pics hosted on ping.fm...

Twitter location not updating...

When I check the box for "When I check in at a place, set my Twitter location accordingly (NEW)." in my Twitter sharing options, Brightkite isn't updating my location on Twitter when I check in or post. However, notes or photos go through just fine to Twitter. I've tried unchecking all the boxes and saving, and then re-entering my Twitter information and saving, doesn't work. I've also tried manually changing my Twitter location, which works fine, and then checking in again, no luck.

I'm in public mode, but my privacy for private mode still has "Exact" set across the board, including for "Everyone else". Any ideas why this may be happening? It used to work a few weeks ago.

Any news on this?

Any news on if this may be done sometime?

beanj007 asked a question in Ping.fm on March 12, 2009 14:58:

Not shorten links that start with...

How about having the ability to turn off link shortening for links that begin with or contain "XYZ". For example, not shorten already short links, like twitpic.com, bit.ly, tinyurl, bkite.com etc? I have began using Tweetie and using the ping.fm integration, and when I post a pic on there, it posts to Twitter with the twitpic.com link, but everything else with a ping.fm link.

This messes up social consolidators like Socialthing, since it sees these as different posts. Also, I'd like my Facebook friends to see the link is a twitpic and not a URL to a website or something. Just an idea.

beanj007 asked a question in Ping.fm on March 12, 2009 13:59:

Tweetie > Ping.fm > Brightkite integration...

When I update my status via Pingle for the iPhone, ping.fm will update my Brightkite location, and post any pictures to my Brightkite stream rather than the link to the picture... however, if I update via Tweetie, this doesn't appear to work, it simply updates my Brightkite status with a link to the picture, and doesn't update my location. Is this something with Tweetie, or Ping, or Brightkite?

beanj007 replied on February 02, 2009 18:43 to the problem "No updates today" in Socialthing:

Yeah, it appears to be updating now, but still no Facebook updates for me. Twitter/Brightkite/Flickr working.

#1: Loopt-style (pin-drop) mapping online and especially on the iPhone app! I wanna see where my friends are on the map in relation to each other, or even see other users on the map. I have several friends that still use Loopt over Brightkite because of this feature alone, and I bet they aren't the only users you could pick up with this feature!

#2: MySpace status update support, plz. I have some friends/family stuck in 2 years ago that still use MySpace exclusively.
