As a French learner it would definitely be useful to have some indication of gender, preferably le/la but just an m/f would do. The reason I subscribe to Learn10 is because I want a quick and easy way to learn, not because I want to go through my dictionary/your site to find out what I should be learning.

My user name is thesmileyone and I just use the standard export calendar on Dopplr.

Cheers

Tripit to Dopplr calendar isn't read properly by Dopplr

I found somewhere a solution to getting Tripit and Dopplr to work together by having Dopplr import the exported calendar feed from Tripit. However Dopplr seems to think I keep wanting to make trips to "Trip, Romania". Any way of fixing this?

Luke asked a question in Dopplr on February 19, 2009 16:59:

How can I make a one way trip?

I'm leaving Uni and heading back home. How can I reflect this with Dopplr? Pretend I'm making a return journey but change my home city while I'm away?

Seems like an awkward solution.

Yup I had this problem. Check out http://twittercounter.com/luke/month you can see plateaus where Twittercounter stops updating. At the mo it thinks have 208 followers compared to my actual 218

Ignore retweets

This is mainly an issue with Facebook. I like the fact that Ping automatically stops @replies from being posted as a FB status. However I think the if a post starts RT it should also be ignored. I'm finding my FB page being filled up by RT's that may be of interest to Twitter folks but not for FB

Make adding friends and sharing Last.fm easier

The "friends" part of Last.fm works much less effectively than it could. FOr quite a while the only way I could find people on last.fm was to use the Facebook app to see who else had last.fm.

I discovered through my profile I could then see friends but there was no way to invite or add friends from there. Finally I discovered the search bar at the top allows me to search for user tags but that doesn't help when I don't know what user name they are using.

I'd like to be able to invite people to try last.fm but there seems no easy way of doing that. I've seen it done with others apps where you then get automatically added as friends.

Just think the social side of last.fm needs some work to make it more accessible.

Luke replied on February 01, 2009 10:37 to the question "How can I customise a blog badge using css?" in Dopplr:

That sounds ok but what if I only wanted to remove the style rules that Dopplr have implemented so that links, etc. will inherit the rules for links across the rest of the site?

I could recreate these styles but if I change my Wordpress theme the bade will again be incorrect.

Specifically I want to remove the border, the white background and change the colour of the links. Aren't these options that could be provided like the Flickr badge does?

Please provide description of what you do with different networks

It's great that you support so many networks. But what do you do with them all? I'm confused.

Perhaps organise the networks so those whose status you update are in one section, those you send photos to in another (for things like Brightkite do you do both?).

I've no idea how I would post an image to ping.fm, and so to Flickr so a bit more info to make it more accessible would be great cheers

Luke marked one of d❤vid seaward's replies in Ping.fm as useful. d❤vid seaward replied to the idea "Services you'd like to see added to Ping.fm". Luke and 8 other people think it's one of the best replies.

Any news on whether this is a possibility?

Luke replied on January 26, 2009 15:09 to the problem "Spotify not scrobbling all tracks" in Spotify:

It's not a problem with the album and I'm not behind a proxy. The majority of the songs I pay on Spotify (80% maybe) aren't being scrobbled. That's from different locations as well.

This is my current Spotify history:

And this is what has been recently added to my Last.fm library:

Luke replied on January 23, 2009 20:36 to the problem "Spotify not scrobbling all tracks" in Spotify:

Yeah I listened to most of a 2 disc album of which 2 tracks got scrobbled.

Spotify not scrobbling all tracks

Checking my last.fm web page I can see that only selected songs are being scrobbled. On the attached picture you can see in the last hour only a couple of songs have been scrobbled but I've been listening pretty much continually for that time. Irritating hwen the songs I really like aren't scrobbled so I can't use last.fm to "love" them

New music requests

Just thought it would be handy (for you as well as us) if there was an option when music I want can't be found submit it as a request. You would then get an accurate list of how to prioritise which music to try and add to the collection. Cheers for the great work!
