Ping.fm's url shortener is adding support for statistics, and for the issue of simplicity and uniformity I would like to use their url shortener.

Until that feature is added, and the weird re-posting of old content is fixed I'm sadly going to have to stop using your service.

Look forward to using it again when you get all the bugs ironed out.

That's the feed url.

Can I opt out of your url shortener and let ping.fm shorten the url?

Is this possible?

I have the same problem and none of those three conditions mentioned by Mario Menti are applicable.

I have lost followers because information was outdated and confusing, is there any other reason this might happen?

The only thing that seems to correlate to the times that the old content is re-posted is when a comment is left on that particular blog entry.

For now, I have deleted my feed from your site until I can get to the bottom of this.

BreakTheB0x started following the question "Character Count for "Ping This" would be awesome." in Ping.fm.

BreakTheB0x started following the question "Is it possible to add "order by #of recommendations" for a feed" in Feedly.

BreakTheB0x started following the question "is it possible to label/tag articles as in greader?" in Feedly.

There are plenty of places that have free RSS reader widgets for free, the main issue would be finding a way to create an RSS feed from the "Saved for Later" articles.

Do you provide source code to users?

I found a workaround for this issue.

You can use Friend Feed and add your Twitter account, it will add not only display your "tweets" to the RSS feed but also add the "tweets" of your friends as well.

If you don't want all your accounts to show up in Feedly, you could just create a separate Friend Feed account and just link Twitter.

Just use the "RSS" option, unless I'm mistaken Friend Feed doesn't require a password to access the RSS feed.

Double checked it just now, my Friend Feed is working correctly and displaying in my Feedly as a source. Perhaps not the simplest solution, but definitely workable. Right now it's showing the Tweets of my friends, my Facebook updates, and many others as well.

Nifty little discovery, thanks for inspiring me to try it!

Feature Request: Compile RSS feed from "Saved for Later" or "Recommended" articles.

I think a great feature would be the ability to create your own RSS feed from your "Saved for Later" or "Recommended" categories for embedding into other sites. I blog using Feedly to find my sources, and it would be great to be able to post all the articles I've read to a widget on my blog.

I'm assuming nobody actually cares about ripping a customer off...

I've purchased over 10 dells in my life, my laptop is the last.

Tried to resend my code, received the same message again.

BreakTheB0x asked a question in Dell on November 13, 2008 17:50:

Listing incompatible Hardware as options when purchasing laptops online.

Is it common practice for Dell to sell computers with incompatible hardware listed as an option while selecting parts?

I bought a laptop from you and later found out that my laptop doesn't have an antenna for Wireless-N built in; I was basically robbed of the money I spent to upgrade the card to ABGN from the ABG during ordering of my Inspiron E1705.

I've contacted your customer service and had a customer service manager hang up on me when I told him that it was a deceptive business practice (your tech support manager was on the line to hear that). I have reference numbers, my service tag, and all other relevant information available upon request.

I just want to know if anyone actually cares enough to help me before I bother with all of that; I was told that even though the sales tech didn't catch the mistake during the order confirmation that after 21 days from the purchase date I'm out of luck.
