I have this problem too. I think it is Virgin mobile blocking messages.

Awesome, thanks Ben, fixed my only real complaint about Socialthing!

jbminn, so what you're saying is that our de-duping worked on some of your cross-posts(such as the one you posted above), but not all? If that's the case, we would definitely like to know specifically the content of those posts so we can perfect our algorithm.

jbminn replied on March 29, 2008 14:11 to the question "Duplicates in Lifestream" in SocialThing:

So if I post from twirl & *it* feeds to both twitter & pownce the exact same post, that post post gets pulled from both pownce & twitter into the stream? That makes sense & explains why I only saw some duplicates - I only posted some of those post from twirl.

But if that is the expected use case, shouldn't every one of my posts that cross-post to multiple services end up as dupes? For example, this post, sent from twirl last night:

John Minnihan Comparing SocialThing's UI to FriendFeed... well, there is no comparison. ST is better. FF could very well lose users because of this.
16 hours ago - Posted to Pownce and Twitter

That's how it appears in the stream - note the notation stating it was posted to Pownce & Twitter. This is clearly the expected behavior, right?

Yes, that's it exactly. These were my twitter updates (by me) that appeared in the stream multiple times. I can't see them now (and thus point you t them) because the stream has moved as that point in time.

Is there a concept (current or planned) of an archive?

Ben replied on March 29, 2008 07:15 to the question "Duplicates in Lifestream" in SocialThing:

ok, so this happens already, though it's hard to tell how. What you need to do is click on the name of the accounts you wish to "combine". Rename them to the same name. (if one of them is Facebook, rename them even if it's the same name. That is, rename "John Doe" to "John Doe".) once you've done this, we will automatically "de-dupe" duplicate activities.

We are fully aware that this isn't intuitive enough and have already been working on a much improved interface for collapsing multiple accounts to one "real-life" person. In the meantime, at least the clunky interface works.

The problem is when you have a friend in multiple services (eg. your friend Bob on Facebook and Twitter) and your friend Bob also uses Socialthing. Now you get two of all his updates.

SMS updates not working with Virgin Mobile Canada

I'm not receiving SMS updates on my phone (Virgin Mobile Canada). I sent in an email to support like the thread here and the one it links to suggests (http://getsatisfaction.com/twitter/to...) but I haven't had a response. My sidebar says 75/250 sms received but I never actually get them.

Any ideas?
