Hi, Frankie,

Unfortunately, we're not able to list this information due to rights reasons. I think in future we'd like to be able to add rough timing (perhaps in quarter-hour chunks) but that needs a good long talk over some coffee and biscuits with other people.

Glad you like the new feature (which is in /programmes rather than /music/beta) and keep listening.

This makes Socialthing! on the iPhone pretty useless for me. I guess it would be good if the Socialthing! webapp went off and did a live call whenever you logged in; but seeing "six hours ago" is a bit... meh.

The most basic thing is a way to send messages to ping.fm without having to load the HTML page first. That would be a great first step.

How do I combine usernames between Twitter and Flickr now?

How do I combine usernames between Twitter and Flickr now?

You used to be able to simply click and rename people (which was the really nice thing about SocialThing!) - now you can't. How do you do this now? I'm a bit confused...

Use ping.fm to post rather than Socialthing!

Can I use ping.fm to do my posting, instead of Socialthing!?

ping.fm covers way more websites, and also it means less hassle on Socialthing!'s servers. So everyone wins!

What does anyone think? Is this a winner?

I'm seeing duplicate status updates

I'm seeing duplicate status updates. New Socialthing! doesn't dedupe my Twitter and Facebook posts, so I'm getting stuff like...

is off to the Radio Academy fellows' lunch today (and wonders whether 'fellow' is a masculine noun, and implies they're all blokes)
twitter 10 minutes ago

facebook 10 minutes ago

(from my own updates)

They're identical, so what gives?

You know... I've been *so* waiting for this interface for the past few weeks. And it was only when I came here, and started to ask when the iPhone interface would be available, that I discover it is already. Wah.
