RSS feeds for favorites

It would be great if there were RSS feeds for a user's favorite list. It would provide a more efficient way to explore Posterous.

I find the size and location of the draft button confusing

I really like the idea of the drafts. Very smart and practical.

However, I do it about 2% of the time I want to tweet so I'd much rather have the buttons for saving and updating reversed. In fact, I might even go as far as reducing the size of the draft option so it doesn't look and feel like an action for one's normal workflow.

Hope this helps.

UI gotcha in saved searches

UI gotcha... the blue dot that appears when there are new messages in a search is also the same location as the 'x' to delete the search.

My brain tends to click the identifier (the blue dot) rather than the list name. So I've been deleting my searches by accident.

I've learned my lesson now. :)

A comment on the idea "Facebook status support" in Thing Labs:

it's the posting that interests me most... for example, i could use the twitter app on facebook to echo everything i post from twitter to my facebook status. but i'd rather make that decision on a post-by-post basis from my brizzly account.

i like to think of brizzly as my micro-blogging client. sometimes i post to twitter. sometimes i post to facebook. sometimes i post to posterous. etc.

thanks! – gtracy, on August 27, 2009 16:36

A comment on the idea "Marking tweets "read"" in Thing Labs:

possible ways to mitigate this problem...
- make the counter a user option
- simply highlight the fact that their are new tweets but not counters

i think you have to have this if you can snip tweets...

thanks! – gtracy, on August 27, 2009 16:33

Highlight search terms in results

It would be great if the search term(s) were highlighted in the tweet results...

Facebook status support

Add support for Facebook status updates... it would be best if you could post to multiple services at the same time, and Brizzly could become the single app for status updates.

I'm actually less interested in seeing Facebook statuses, but being able to control what gets posted would be nice.

A comment on the idea "Marking tweets "read"" in Thing Labs:

... a follow-on feature of this is to provide counters next to the groups - just like google reader - to display how many tweets have yet to be read. – greg tracy, on August 24, 2009 22:57

adding myself to groups

it would be nice if i could add myself to a group - it helps when reviewing conversation threads.

Group notifications

group notifications - it looks like my 'home' and 'search' lists get highlighted when their are changes, but not my groups. since i can't see multiple groups at a glance (like one can with a tweetdeck client), it's important to know when there is something new.
