Ahh, I got the impression from the page that it didn't allow colons in the display name for the company, I didn't realise that that field related primarily to the URL. Thanks for the response.

Digitalpardoe,

I'm sorry you were annoyed by the design of our system. We allow colons in the display name of companies in our system, but we decided to be more restrictive on the url for the company.

Looking at things, we should be able to allow colons in our url, we simply need to relax our validations. I'll talk it over with the team, and put some tests in place to make sure we don't break the site if you use a colon. This won't be a quick fix, because I'm not confident that all of our code will work with a name like that, so I need to do an audit to make sure it works. I would say expect this to be allowed in a week or two.

Thanks so much for the feedback,
Scott

Because calling Last.fm produces an incredible amount of calls (we have to ask them for every single friends' stream, unlike Twitter or Pownce which just gives us a full list of everything your friends are doing) we have had to disable updating for non-ST! friends. However, when we implement our next iteration, you'll start to see Last.fm updates for anyone that you're friends with (doesn't really matter where). Make sense?

I've come across this error again, the company name has a ':' (colon) in it. It could be removed but shouldn't the website really be more accepting of varied company names.

Only Getting My Own Last.fm Updates

I've added my Last.fm account to my services but only updates from myself appear in the friendstream, when my Last.fm friends listen to their music I get no updates for them appearing in my friendstream.

Totally understandable. I just saw the blog post and figured it was related. Looking forward to things stabilizing!

Hey guys, sorry for the confusion. Check out our recent blog post here: http://blog.socialthing.com/2008/03/1...

We are experiencing a large growth in traffic, and the way we were grabbing data for some of the services was not scaling well. We hope to add these services back in soon (and work on a way to make it more clear to the user what is happening).
