Thanks - I mean, you can always point people at Yahoo! Pipes, but first you'd have to support the Yahoo! Pipes URLs.

I tried this but the URL I get from Google Reader:

http://www.google.com/reader/public/a...

Is rejected when I try to put it into the RSS feed spot. Also, it seems like I can only have one RSS feed? That kinda sucks since I have a couple of blogs and services I'd like to add. I guess I'll try and find an RSS feed combiner...

I thought maybe I could use Yahoo! Pipes to get around that, but it rejects my Yahoo! Pipes URL as well:

http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run...

Could you take a look into this one? Having it set up with the Yahoo Pipe would be best, since it comes both my blogs and my Google Reader Shared Items ...

Had this problem today with may 20-character password and had to shorten it ... oh well now that I figured out the issue I can just use the 12-character version.

Dobes Vandermeer started following the problem "login problem" in YouAre.

Hm interesting I don't use ping.fm. Does ping.fm also post to YouAre ?

Verb form of YouAre

YouAre should have a "verb form" so it can be used in more places. Not sure what that would be, but it could be essential to adoption rates.

"YouAre" this button in Get Satisfaction?

It must be a bit irksome that Get Satisfaction shows a "Twitter This" icon next to each ticket - wouldn't it be great if it said "YouAre" this (you guys really need a verb-form of your name ...)

How about FriendFeed support?

Not sure if this is within your power, but if YouAre were supported by FriendFeed in the same way as Twitter - in that FriendFeed can be used to funnel a lifestream into it from all the FriendFeed-supported services that would be very handy. This comes in two parts - one is to include a filtered selection of FriendFeed services in my YouAre stream, and the other would be to post YouAre messages to FriendFeed (and cleverly avoiding any duplication and infinite loops). Doing so should be possible using the FriendFeed API would instantly integrate YouAre with Twitter and many other online services.

How about if it imports my updates from Twitter?

To make the transition from Twitter easier, YouAre could either repost my updates from twitter or post my YouAre updates to Twitter (just the ones that are not replies, the way the Facebook application works).

TweetDeck clone?

How about a clone of TweetDeck?

Import my shared items from Google Reader

I use this a lot for Twitter, it would be nice to have it in YouAre.

Integration/synchronization API

Somehow I had thought that BatchBook already had this, but I'm look again and can't find it. I was thinking I would add the ability for user of my online accounting software (myself included) to do integrate contacts and communications with BatchBook somehow.

Web forms

How about having a web form URL I can POST new customer information to as part of my own software (http://www.clarityaccounting.com). I can currently export all contacts as CSV and import them into BatchBook but I'd like to be able to just automatically add them.

Google Calendar integration

How about exporting a feed I can show in Google Calendar for ToDo items and contacts' birthdays?

I think when I saw you were starting to go in the direction of pulling data from outside sources I was convinced to sign up - that's pretty unique and potentially quite useful.

One thing I've seen out there is a site that auto-generates a bunch of information about someone by searching the internet (or something) ... perhaps that's another site you could integrate with.

I'll let you know what other features come to mind as I go along ...

Compared to the other CRMs it's not a very exciting feature, I wish it could download/import old email from our Google Apps account using IMAP or something.
