Ahh, http://ping.fm/pingout/ - Yeah, that's better, but we still need a neater solution. – Foomandoonian, on August 23, 2008 11:11

Hmm. What URI do you use exactly? – Foomandoonian, on August 23, 2008 11:08

A comment on the idea "Firefox extension a la Twitbin?" in Ping.fm:

Are you using the URI for the dashboard? The URI I use *only* shows the drop-down to select the posting mode, and the box into which you type your post - no links other than the post button. It's still a *little* wider than my standard sidebar setting, but not by much. The dashboard is definitely too wide for a sidebar. – notsheep, on August 23, 2008 10:15

Yeah, that works, but if you follow a link, it opens in the main window, and the page is too wide for the sidebar, IMO. – Foomandoonian, on August 23, 2008 10:07

Maybe everyone else already knows how to do this, but until a full-featured extension or sidebar exists, here's something I found useful - I created a FF bookmark for http://ping.fm/pingout/ and set it to open in the sidebar. You can even drag-and-drop text from the webpage you're at to the message-box.

Does Twitter really have 19 employees here?

If Twitter is wanting to make protected accounts https then why hasn't mine been made https? If you're going to implement something to assist security then you should announce it so customers know what's going on.

I'm after this one too. If someone could come up with a sidebar that could manage all these things, they'd be onto a winner, for sure.

Excellent stuff!

So, do you have any plans to add stats to your short links, ala Bit.ly? It would make Ping more of an all-in-one solution for me.

Sorry, we've been away for a while. Out of town. Wasn't able to respond to everyone before-hand. This is a good idea and has already been tacked to be done.

I'd have thought this was a pretty useful suggestion - no takers?

I understand that butting an *asterisk before a link stops them getting ping-ified, but this is easy to forget. I'd like to turn this feature off by default. A good compromise would be to offer a choice of alternative shortening services, as I like to use Bit.ly or Tweetburner.

Alternatively, you need to make ping-links more fully featured, and include stats and custom keywords, etc.

Small problem, but a big deal for me.
