I am not seeing it my spam folder. Is there a way to resend the verify?

Sean G reported a problem in Socialthing on August 06, 2008 02:20:

Conversation mismatch due to grouping issues in Socialthing.

This is how Twitter shows the conversation.
Twitter Example

This is how Socialthing shows the conversation
Socialthing Example

Socialthing groups feeds by who said what and Twitter organizes them by chronological order. Socialthing is a better interface but it doesn't always handle the flow of the conversation correctly.

Suggestion:
Group up conversations to make it easier to follow. Maybe add the two user avatars next to each other and indent the conversation

Unable to verify my email address.

When I go into my account settings I see it says un-verified next to my email address. There does not seem to be a system in place to verify my email address.

1. Go into Settings tab.
2. Click on Account section.
3. Observe it says un-verified next to email accounts

The email address I used is not the same one my invitation came to.

What Happen To Documentation?

In your new release, last week, you have added three new features to Socialthing: the ability to manage accounts, change the colors of some feeds and ability to remove your posts. What I don't see is how to use these thing correctly and what their limitations are. The last posting on your blog is "Some down time...", and that was last week when you were prepping your new release.

I understand your site is in beta, you will be adding new features all the time, and you would like are helping in finding bugs for you. So why not give us more information! Create release notes and give a brief explanation on what you are trying to accomplish and put this either on your blog or create wiki or development blog. Either way that should not take you too long to do.

Because I have been playing with your new features and seemed to have created on mistake after another that is making my Socialthing account almost unusable. I can't help myself, I work as QA Lead and when I see new features I have to try to break them. It's what I love to do! I have more bugs and will put them in when I have chance. But I would love any type of documentation.

Now I have to figure out how repair this account or be sneaky and create a new one with my old username.

Sean G replied on August 05, 2008 20:37 to the question "How can I reset my friendstream (or account)?" in Socialthing:

I have now accidentally removed my friend's Twitter feed while playing with your new undocumented features and would really like to reset my account right now to get my friend's feed back. Unfortunately I can't because you have not thought completely through your implementation of your application.

Accidentally Removed A Friend's Twitter Feed and I Want It Back

I was testing how your new feature for managing accounts worked, when I accidentally removed my friend's Twitter feed from Socialthing.

Thiis is what I did.
1. Unchecked his name from the drop-down menu.
2. I refreshed the browser and his name Twitter feed was gone.

To try to bring it back
1. Went into settings and removed my Twitter account.
2. Click on the Home tab and refreshed the page.
3. Went back into Settings and added my Twitter account.
4. Clicked back on the Home tab and refeshed the page again.

My friend's Twitter feed was still gone. So how do I bring it back?

How can I reset my friendstream (or account)?

My friendstream has gotten out of control by mismanagement on my side. How can I reset my friendstream or account?

Sean G shared an idea in Brightkite on July 30, 2008 19:14:

Advertise Within Twitter

When you post a message through a third party into Twitter, they put on then end of the message where it was sent from.

Examples:
"from twitterrific"
"from TwitterFox"
"from Socialthing!"

When sending a message through Brightkite, it says "from web" when it should say "from brightkite". This would help you advertise the service and build some name recognition.

Just ran into this same problem but with Twitter posts. So any plans on allowing your customers to delete their own posts on the Lifestream?

Sean G replied on July 05, 2008 01:34 to the problem "Deleted Pownce Posts Still Showing Up" in Socialthing:

How about adding a delete feature similar to what FriendFeed has now?

Sean G asked a question in Pownce on June 29, 2008 21:15:

Deleted posts are showing up on Socialthing and Friendfeed.

I wrote a question as a post and then decided to delete it. Then I decided to ask the same question, but this time make it a link. Then later decided to delete that too. So later when I check my socialthing page, I see both deleted posts. Sent them a bug thinking it was cached on their end. But now today I am seeing one of the deleted posts on Friendfeed.

Now I have deleted posts before on Pownce and they haven't showed up before. I probably should try this a couple more times to verify the bug, but I just don't want to have more ghost posts show up.

Deleted Pownce Posts Still Showing Up

I deleted some posts from Pownce and they are still showing up on my lifestream. How can I delete those posts from my lifestream and freindstream?

Sean G replied on June 10, 2008 14:37 to the question "How do I remove other people's posts?" in Pownce:

When I first created an account on Pownce I added Leah Culver as a fan to see how Pownce worked. Who better to follow then the lead developer. After awhile I decided I had seen enough and wanted to start posting on a clean slate. Unfortunately that is not who things work on Pownce.

So now I am left with two options. I could just ignore them and move on, but my anal retentiveness is not allowing me to do this. Or I can rudely ask Leah Culver to be my friend, not to build a lasting friendship, but to then have the ability to finally remove her non-offensive posts from my page. Same problem but different example.

Sean G replied on June 03, 2008 19:10 to the question "Don't want to follow your posts anymore..." in Pownce:

But if you are fan and you remove them, you still see their posts on your page. Where if they were your friend and you removed them, those posts would be removed. Why is it difference between a Fans and Friends?

Sean G asked a question in Pownce on May 29, 2008 18:04:

Removing fans should remove their public posts too.

When you remove a friend, all their public posts are removed with them. When you remove a fan, all their public posts stay on your page. Why is there inconsistency between the two?
