Indeed, even via desktop client and with Gmail for Domains, Google sets “From:” to the SMTP login, presumably to stem spam and fraudulent mail.

A comment on the idea "Please support open jaw trips, and let us insert and edit trip segments." in Dopplr:

Individual8, that's an interesting use-case too, for which http://brightkite.com or http://plazes.com might suit better. Of course, they're all apps for geo-presence. I meant my suggestion in complete compatibility with Dopplr original purpose, to help frequent travelers plan and share their trips and foster coincidences. – John Lam, on August 10, 2008 15:40

Excellent, Celia! Like Voyagerfan5761 mentioned, i could delete and add trips, but only with loss of notes. It also makes my trip feeds confusing. – John Lam, on August 10, 2008 05:33

Thanks again for replying, Celia! I can't wait! – John Lam, on August 04, 2008 18:26

A comment on the idea "Not all trips begin from home. Please support nested trips." in Dopplr:

Thanks for replying, Celia! I can't wait! Just informally, most travelers i know take side-trips and mini-trips when they go on excursions. This is what i meant by nested trips. – John Lam, on August 04, 2008 18:22

Not all trips begin from home. Please support nested trips.

Please support nested trips in your schema. Sometimes the first and enclosing trip serves as a stage for another trip. Be smart and let trips launch yet more trips. Let the schema, calendar, and tools support such itineraries (and not close out all trips when the first one ends).

Please support open jaw trips, and let us insert and edit trip segments.

Please support open jaw trips. Let us create arbitrary multi-segment trips with undefined waypoints and waydates. This also lets us insert and edit arbitrary and ad-hoc trip segments. Sometimes we don't know in advance everywhere a trip can take us.

One longer-term remedy avoids e-mail addresses and spam altogether. Instead, use OpenID. So many services (such as Yahoo, Flickr, AOL, Livejournal, SixApart, Clickpass, and much more, including opensource frameworks too) now provide OpenID, most people already have a provider.

John Lam replied on June 01, 2008 19:17 to the idea "Aggregate my Social Content" in Faves.com:

I like Mike's suggestion to feed Faves into FriendFeed, too. I just wish FriendFeed would add a custom feed for Faves. This enables private sharing, comment postback, and also overloads their generic blog feed icon, which is less confusing for readers. I also wish Faves could add a feed key for friends-only sharing into Facebook, Plaxo Pulse, Jaiku, 30 Boxes, and other privacy-capable lifestreams.

Better yet, since Faves chooses to focus and do one thing well (rather than do everything like Facebook or Multiply), please adopt OAuth to enable private sharing and comment postback with larger social networks.

Even more edgy, follow that philosophy and rather than handle comments, let Disqus handle and lifestream them. Then instead focus on adding tag intersection, unions, and other improvements.
