Yes, you're right. I'm sorry. I was just trying to find a workaround to make Thunderbird useful. – norbiq, on July 25, 2008 15:19

It's still a desktop application, he said web access, not thumbdrive access. – Thomas, on July 25, 2008 15:04

Isn't it possible to install Thunderbird on a pendrive (like Firefox) and carry it around with me?! That way Tbird would become more mobile :)

A comment on the question "Is Thunderbird a desktop application?" in Mozilla:

Thunderbird is like Outlook or Eudora in that it is a mail client. It sits on your desktop. I'm recommending an alternative, you can use Gmail's mail fetcher to fetch mail from other services (I think you have to pay to access hotmail over POP though, but AIM is free over IMAP) and bring it into your Gmail. It is using gmail as a web mail client, but Thunderbird sits on your desktop. I wanted to help with your issue. However, you can indeed use Thunderbird as your desktop client to check your gmail as well as just check gmail (and other items) on the go, but they are two different products. – Thomas, on July 24, 2008 05:10

Ok so let me get this straight. I can use Thunderbird to combine my Gmail, Hotmail and domain accounts into one program? And then when I want to check on the go from the web I can use Gmails "mail fetcher" to check my Thunderbird?

A comment on the question "Duplicates with twitter and brightkite" in Ping.fm:

Yup that pretty much answers it. Somehow last night I thought of that option and then talked myself out of it LOL. Overthinking! – Dylan, on July 08, 2008 19:22

Joshua Judd replied on July 08, 2008 04:47 to the question "Duplicates with twitter and brightkite" in Ping.fm:

You can go into the settings on Brightkite and uncheck "When I post a note," but leave "When I post a photo" checked.

Next, enable both brightkite and twitter within ping.fm. This way, when you post from Ping.fm it will repost a note on brightkite and on twitter, but brightkite won't relay it over to twitter causing an echo.

Then whenever you want to post a photo, just do it through brightkite and it will relay the photo to twitter.

I hope that's not too confusing, but it's what I did, and it works fine!

Duplicates with twitter and brightkite

So I sent out my first ping and got the duplicate on twitter from brightkite. Here is my question. I want Brightkite to still update twiiter with pic and location updates but I would like to use ping.fm for microblog updates on them both. As far as I can tell I only have these options.

1. Turn off Brightkite Twitter connection and loose ability to have photo and location updates sending to Twitter.

2. Turn off Brightkite updates on ping.fm and be able to microblog to twitter but not brightkite at same time. But have ablity to do photo and location updates from Bkite going over to Twitter.

Hope this makes sense! I'm trying to to figure this one out!

Thanx in advance for any help.

My co worker and I are at the same address so the icons overlap at any zoom level. It completely hides the other icon. Good to see you guys are aware. Just putting my 2 cents in.
