Ah, fantastic! Thank you! I'd not seen the blog post. Enabled the feature, and added your blog feed to Google Reader to stay updated :) – David Precious, on September 22, 2009 10:06

Out of interest, is this feature still planned?

It would seem that ping.fm has recently regressed to the previous behaviour of responding to all clients connected to a Jabber/XMPP account, rather than just the originator - is this intentional?

Responses to Jabber/XMPP (Google Talk) requests sent back to all clients, not just originator

Responses to Jabber (Google Talk) requests are sent back to all clients, not just the one which sent the request.

When I have multiple clients connected to Google Talk (for instance, my laptop, my Blackberry, and my computer at work), each one can be identified seperately (as, for instance, "bigpresh@gmail.com/Home"); ideally the response should go to the particular client which initiated contact.

This (in my view incorrect) behaviour is also the same in IdentiSpy.

(ping.fm used to do this but have now changed it.)

I think changing this would make the bot much nicer to use for those of us who have multiple devices connected :)

Stats for shortened URL click-throughs

It'd be awesome if you could get stats on how many people clicked through from ping.fm short URLs. xrl.us (metamark.net) does this, I think it'd be a very useful feature indeed for ping.fm, to see how many people actually follow your links.

A comment on the idea "Filter settings for each target" in Ping.fm:

Yeah, I've seen the triggers, but I was thinking of something that could automatically filter updates matching certain patterns from certain services, without requiring the (admittedly small) effort of using a trigger to control where to post an update. – David Precious, on January 10, 2009 23:45

This would also apply to updates using "@", for instance "Going to the bar with @Bob"

Filter settings for each target

I think it would be useful to be able to configure filters for each service, to prevent some updates going to it.

For instance, I post technical things to Twitter and identi.ca which are of very little interest to the majority of my Facebook friends - it'd be very nice to be able to set up a list of patterns which would automatically block updates mentioning certain words from reaching FB.

I know I can address individual services, but it would be nice to be able to just send the message, and have the filters I've defined do the magic.

Stripping tags when posting to services that don't use them

How about the ability to strip hash (#) signs used for #tags when posting to services which don't support that notion?

For instance, my updates go to Twitter, identi.ca and Facebook. Sending something like "Off to play #Warhawk" would make sense for Twitter and identi.ca, but to people on Facebook, it just looks odd, the "tag" doesn't become a link or anything of the sort.

Being able to strip it from certain services would be ideal (and perhaps strip collections of tags left at the end of a message, too).

What do you think?

David Precious reported a problem in Last.fm on January 09, 2009 16:15:

Broken "A and B are now friends" message if friend is deleted

If userA adds userB as a friend, but userB is then deleted, the "userA and userB are now friends" message on userA's profile becomes "userA are now friends".

Hardly important, but I spotted it on someone's profile whilst clicking through from recently added friends, and thought it was worth mentioning.

(The profile in question was http://www.last.fm/user/rosie1985 if it helps, although I suspect it'd be the same for everyone in the same situation.)
