Hi Adam,

Thanks for letting us know. You're right, there's not enough information on that landing page - we'll take a look and at the minimum add the place address.

Cheers,

Thanks for letting us know. I'll log both of these in our bug tracker and we'll take a look as soon as we get a chance.

Ryan Snyder replied on May 01, 2009 21:48 to the idea "Let users decide whether to tweet on a per-shout basis" in Shizzow:

Hi Adam,

Thanks for the feedback. We have thought about this, but have not decided whether that will stray away from the idea of simplicity that we strive for in each of our implementations. I definitely agree that when you connect your account to Twitter, it changes the way you use status messages when shouting. so that is definitely a reason to think about the option you've proposed. I'm wondering if anyone else has any strong feelings about this one way or another?

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Pete,

You're absolutely right, the phone number for a place should be available in the mobile site. I'm not sure why it isn't already, but I'll make sure it gets added shortly!

Cheers,
Ryan

Ryan Snyder replied on April 25, 2009 15:29 to the problem "RSS feed URLs changed?" in Shizzow:

Hi Adam,

We updated the RSS feed URLs for Shizzow users a few months ago, and had been redirecting all "/{user_name}/rss" requests to "/people/{user_name}/rss" . We decided to remove the redirect for efficiency reasons, then realized after doing so that many people were receiving 404 errors for their RSS feeds. Instead of trying to contact each person to inform them of the change, we decided it would be easier to just re-implement the redirect.

We may remove the redirect in the future, and if/when we do we will make sure to notify everyone of this change.

Thanks for weighing in on this topic!

Cheers,
Ryan

Ok - I was wondering about your problem and was preparing to look into it. Hopefully that took care of your problem too :) Let me know if it did not take care of your problem...

Ryan Snyder replied on March 23, 2009 15:57 to the problem "Use "double password entry" during signup to ensure the password is set correctly." in Shizzow:

Hey Andrew,

Thanks for submitting this as a problem.

We actually used to have a "Verify Password" field in the signup page, but removed it along with a few other fields in order to expedite the signup process. I'll keep an eye on this one to see if other people are having the same problem and would like to see the Verify Password field re-added to the signup page.

If anyone else has strong feelings about this one way or the other, please don't hesitate to let us know!

Cheers,
Ryan

Ryan Snyder replied on March 19, 2009 14:18 to the idea "Remove "What to do Now" Checklist Once It's Complete" in Shizzow:

Hello Ha,

The three steps are:

1. Search for the place you are currently at using the brown box above, and click "Shout" to shout out your location.

2. Find your friends in (link to friends in your city) or invite more friends to join Shizzow.

3. Add tags to describe yourself.

Once these 3 steps have been completed, the checklist will be removed from your dashboard.

Cheers,
Ryan

Ryan Snyder replied on March 12, 2009 15:18 to the question "Tweeted shout links broken when posted to Facebook?" in Shizzow:

Hi Nate,

In case you haven't noticed, we pushed a fix for this 3 or 4 days ago. We removed the closing parenthesis, which took care of the problem.

Ryan Snyder replied on March 10, 2009 18:30 to the idea "Feature request: List of favorite places by number of shouts by individual and city" in Shizzow:

Hi Rick,

Thanks for the suggestion. We've added 2 new calls to the API. Now you will just need to ping one of the developers making a Shizzow mashup and ask them to implement these new calls. :)

The 2 calls added are:
* Get the places that have been designated favorite places the most by Shizzow users.
* Get the most popular places on Shizzow, ordered by the number of times people have shouted from each place.

Cheers,
Ryan
