Yes. – Sean, on August 25, 2008 21:20

Glad to have it sorted out. – Ancyru, on August 21, 2008 11:54

Indeed, my bad! :) I did noticed the Jaiku icon underneath the Ping.fm dropdown - but I didn't really noticed Twitter wasn't shown because of that. Thanks a lot! – Dinis Correia, on August 21, 2008 11:52

I have mentioned this already, unfortunately it hasn't been followed much. http://bit.ly/20e7XF – Ancyru, on August 21, 2008 11:12

The thing is, you don't end up with a double post. If you have Ping.fm selected you would see all the services lined up underneath to be sent to. Now if you have Twitter selected as well as Ping.fm, you will notice that Twitter is removed from the services lined up.

It's already smart enough, there is no double posting. – Ancyru, on August 21, 2008 11:11

I'm liking the ping.fm implementation, however I've got the "Adjust Grammar" setting enabled on ping.fm which isn't being picked up on by the socialthing routine that folds together duplicates, so for example spotting that "is testing ping.fm" and "Richard is testing ping.fm" are the same update.

Well, I *love* like the idea - however, I now feel that the options for some services should be redefined.

When I hit 'Post', all my services are selected - say, Twitter and Ping.fm. But since I also want to have my Twitter account on Ping.fm, I would end with a double post.

I think services that allow you to post updates should now have an option to disable the post feature for that specific service.

(Am I making any sense?)

Plus one!!

A comment on the question "Is there an iPhone Application planned for future release?" in Ping.fm:

joe user would use ping.fm because it is the one that updates all of them. While there are benefits to an open platform, not all of the sites Ping works with are open either, APIs provide reasonably good interoperability including to Ping's service itself. So I would think an ambitious coder could already get to work on something, but personally I'm looking forward to the "official" app. "One Ping to rule them all!" – radione, on August 06, 2008 00:49

I say develop an open source in house version that can be extended by other programmers. The only way this product will be able to compete long term is to make it the best one out there.

I expect the large social networking sites as well as Twitter will be incorporating many of these features into their apps.

Why would joe user use ping.fm when he can use Facebooks built in functionality.

The future lies in getting all these different platforms to work together in as many ways possible, If you guys can work with open standards that facilitate this and develop the best product then your future looks bright.

From what I have seen so far you are well on your way... The iPhone being a glaring omission to this of course...

I think it would build confidence and awareness of Ping.fm for this to be an official app. Since you already have the web app, it is the next logical step.

I vote for "official app" I'm so excited about it...

Sean replied on August 05, 2008 19:53 to the question "Is there an iPhone Application planned for future release?" in Ping.fm:

This can go two ways really. We can develop the official app, which we have planned. Or, someone could make one to tie into our API. We've had a couple people request API keys for this but have nothing surface yet.

It's in high demand, so I think we will be moving on it very soon.

Take as long as you want... But know that the first company to bring this functionality to market will most likely be the industry leader. That is the nature of business.

Unless Facebook decides to integrate this functionality into their API and then they will be the market leader based on sheer number of installed users.

Good to hear it is at least on your plate somewhere.

Chris Pirillo (www.chris.pirillo.com) mentioned to those in the ping.fm irc once that someone emailed him telling him that they were making an iphone app for it.
