I keep getting this message on my lifestream, "twitter: There was an error fetching data." It wouldn't bother me so much if Twitter wasn't the main service I use SocialThing to keep track of. My screen name is axisds if that helps.

Not quite yet, as there's no concept of "profile" on our site. This feature is on target with our upcoming public launch, which will happen very soon...we're very excited about it. Stay tuned!

Has this been implemented yet? I don't mind the "hideous" URL so much for myself... but is there a link to give out to friends/family/etc so they can follow my lifestream? Maybe I'm just missing it?

Oh, I sort of posted the same feedback/notification request system. Cool.

Hi Matt!
Excellent. We've implemented OAuth for just this reason. If you're interested in more information about that you can visit http://api.getsatisfaction.com or even give our lead dev a shout at scott@getsatisfaction.com

I'm looking forward to seeing how you guys pull it together!

Leslie, we're actually going to be implementing this soon, we're also looking at ways so that users don't actually have to "create" an account explicitly, but rather, we would use an API method to be able to pass the user over...

Hope that will work for you!

Okay. As long as we both agree that they're hideous, let's never speak of this again.

Ben replied on March 13, 2008 23:21 to the idea "Socialthing! URL" in SocialThing:

Russ, the "hideous" url to which you are referring is currently how an AJAX application has to work if one wants to keep a pseudo-"browser-history". Here's an example, if you click on the "Settings" tab, then the "Lifestream" tab, and click your browser's back button, it will successfully navigate between the tabs, simulating an application-like experience.

Because of the limitations set forth by today's browsers, this is not possible unless we keep track of your current state using that big long "hideous" string following the "#" symbol in the url.

It is rather ugly (believe me, we've tried to get around it), but it's how we have to for now, and does actually work as a url. Take a look at GMail (www.gmail.com), and Yahoo! Maps (maps.yahoo.com) and you'll notice a similar behavior.

As far as whether it will replace the URL or not will depend on if you're logged in or not. If you aren't, then when you go to someone's profile page (not yet implemented), then you will just see something like "ben.socialthing.com" (in the instance that you'd want to see my lifestream).

Hope this clears things up.

Will this replace the hideous URL (i.e. https://www.socialthing.com/#&lifestream:1:1:j20=&) with socialthing.com/username or username.socialthing.com?

Thanks for the suggestion. We're currently working on intuitive ways for you to filter out not only individual services, but also specific types of updates. We'll have this for you sometime very soon!

Thanks
