    Hi Mom,

    You know how I call you every time I try to make your famous double-chocolate-chip cookies? Well, Get Satisfaction is where I go to get that same level of support for anything else I'm having trouble with. Oh, and just like when I bite into a gooey, warm, freshly baked cookie, Get Satisfaction leaves me with nothing but smileys :)

    Twitter integration: Disallow guests to "attach" their Twitter accounts to your drop
    Twitter integration: Disallow guests to attach their Twitter accounts to your drop

    Hey guys,

    I love the fact that I can attach my drop right to my Twitter account. This way, all of my Twitter followers can get updates to my drop as part of my regular tweets. I can see how you might want to have more than one Twitter account attached to the drop (i.e. if your drop is comprised of input from a team of people) but what I don't understand is, why do you allow guests of my drop to do the same thing? It sort of feels like plagiarism to me.

    What I think might be better would be to have a little more control over who gets to associate their Twitter accounts with the drop, but then allow guests to merely "follow" one or more of those Twitter accounts via a simple link. To make it even easier, you could just limit the drop to have "official association" with only one Twitter account. That way, when the guests click the "Follow This Drop On Twitter" button (or choose the option via the sidebar/share menus), they would just be following a Twitter feed.

    This idea also makes the whole Twitter interoperability a little safer for the guests because they won't have to enter in any user/pass information.

    Just my two cents...

    Working Example:

    I have a drop, named "Coolio". I have a Twitter account named "CoolioTweets". I have four friends who help me manage my drop and three of them have Twitter accounts. They are named: "Twit1", "Twit2", "Twit3", respectively. I attach "CoolioTweets", "Twit1", "Twit2", and "Twit3" to the drop "Coolio" so now, each of those twitter feeds automatically post any updates made to the drop. I would like my Twitter-using guests to be able to follow along as well, so I select "CoolioTweets" as my "officially associated" account. Now, when my guests click the share links for Twitter, they will be added as followers to the "CoolioTweets" account. My guests can now happily receive updates to my drop without entering any user/pass information and I can feel satisfied knowing that no ambitious Twitterers are out to claim responsibility for my drop.

    Ross
    You may just be reporting the absent "right-click" functionality but if you just click the "fax" option on the normal sending options (typically found beneath the item) you should be able to get it to work for you

    Hyperlinks in "Notes" will not open in new window
    When I try to add a link in a "Note", and I set the "Target" to open the link in a new window (from the little drop-down menu), the setting doesn't seem responsive (i.e. the link uses the current window to display the linked content). I've even tried editing the html and adding the target = "blank" command only to see the same issue.

    voicemail reporting incorrect upload time?
    I noticed that when using the Voicemail #, the files are reported as having been added at strange times (not in my current, or configured timezone).

    Ross
    Everybody at drop.io,

    HTTPS is definitely an awesomely important implementation and I would def pay for the privilege.

    Here's another idea (I posted this as a comment elsewhere):

    Is there any way you could include a separate asset folder that is completely hidden to guests and only accessible by Admins? I'd love to be able to use my drop as an inviting front to a quickly hashed/modified web page of sorts but also as an easily accessible store for some important (albeit sensitive) material.

    I'd ultimately love to have my drop be "the perfect mobile portfolio" but without these features, abuse and vulnerability seem pretty inevitable.
