I've done both suggestions and unfortunately I still can't get the Identi.ca network added to my Ping.fm profile. I even logged in/out - maybe I'll have to wait for the system to cache or something. I'll try again tomorrow and see what happens.

Instead of requesting a new password you can specify your own password. Just leave the "current password" field empty and enter your new password twice. Then you have a username and a password for identi.ca.

A comment on the idea "Twitterfeed to Identi.ca" in twitterfeed:

Actually, the reason he mentioned ur1.ca is because that is the official shortener of identi.ca and laconi.ca. Every URL is CC-licensed (somehow) and the database is downloadable. – Thomas, on August 01, 2008 22:11

A comment on the idea "Twitterfeed to Identi.ca" in twitterfeed:

Cool, thanks for testing! I noticed there's currently at least one local laconi.ca install being posted to from twitterfeed, which also seems to work fine, so that's promising! – Mario Menti, on August 01, 2008 17:47

Thanks wolfger! Re. the URL shorteners, there's been a proliferation of these in the wake of twitter's success, so I'll try and round up the most obvious ones (e.g. ones requested here) with APIs and add at least some of them in a future update. Things can take a little longer than expected to implement here, due to twitterfeed being a "spare time" project of mine..

wolfger replied on August 01, 2008 17:06 to the idea "Twitterfeed to Identi.ca" in twitterfeed:

Wonderful! It feels great to have a request fulfilled. Now maybe we could add ur1.ca to the list of URL shortening services provided? OK, I'm just being greedy... Very happy to have my blog feed auto-posted to Identica in any form.

Okay, working for me. It picked up both of my blog feeds and send the message and link to identi.ca. Thanks!

Sandy Kemsley replied on August 01, 2008 13:45 to the idea "Twitterfeed to Identi.ca" in twitterfeed:

Mario, you totally rock! I will test this (I'm using identi.ca) and let you know how it works.

Feedback so far: in my list of Twitterfeeds, the left column always points to my Twitter address, even for feeds set up for identi.ca -- I have to actually edit the feed to figure out which is for Twitter and which is for identi.ca.

A comment on the idea "Twitterfeed to Identi.ca" in twitterfeed:

Yes, I am using the twitter-compatible API, at least for the time being. – Mario Menti, on August 01, 2008 13:27

A comment on the idea "Twitterfeed to Identi.ca" in twitterfeed:

Consider also the ability to use identi.ca's implementation of the twitter api? or is that what you're using? I'm thinking their implementation of the twitter api might be easier (for now) if you're concerned – Thomas, on August 01, 2008 13:25

Mario Menti replied on August 01, 2008 12:42 to the idea "Twitterfeed to Identi.ca" in twitterfeed:

OK, I've listened.... when you create a new feed in twitterfeed, or edit an existing one, you now have a choice to select "laconica" instead of twitter. If you feel brave, please test it and let me know how it works - at the moment I have only tried it with the identi.ca server, so posting to other laconica installations may not work yet (I will try and upgrade my own laconica installation to test, but at the moment it's not working yet with the latest laconica code...).

Identi.ca has a Twitter-compatible API now, so this should be easily doable. Or maybe we just need PingFeed, and let ping update our service(s) from the feed...

Thomas replied on July 29, 2008 19:14 to the question "Any plans to support identi.ca in the Overheard tab?" in Get Satisfaction:

I requested identi.ca support 19 days ago, and since tweetscan supports identi.ca I made a request for the ability to specify service the same day.

Sandy Kemsley: They're using the summize (now Twitter Search) API to filter RSS feeds for keywords. Twitter provides the data to Twitter Search (which is really a bad name, there's also a search on twitter but it's just for usernames and profiles), who then provides it to people through a nice API. Likewise, while identi.ca has an API for posting and getting posts from your friends, they don't have a search API. They do have a search RSS feed though: http://identi.ca/search/notice/rss?q=... so that's kinda neat. Don't know how well that's going to scale.

Sandy Kemsley replied on July 29, 2008 18:15 to the question "Any plans to support identi.ca in the Overheard tab?" in Get Satisfaction:

Scott, thanks for your reply. I'm seeing a rapid adoption of identi.ca amongst the tech community, who are probably also more likely to be Get Satisfaction users.

identi.ca now has a Twitter-compatible API, which made it possible for Twhirl to release identi.ca support so quickly. Also, search results in identi.ca all provide RSS feeds, which is another potential method of integration. Of course, I have no idea how you're actually integrating Twitter, I'm just thinking that integrating identi.ca could provide a significant reach into the leading-edge tech community for a relatively small effort.

Agree, adding blogs to Overheard would be a great feature. – Amy, on July 29, 2008 17:08

Scott Fleckenstein replied on July 29, 2008 15:44 to the question "Any plans to support identi.ca in the Overheard tab?" in Get Satisfaction:

There aren't any plans as of yet.

That said, we have every intention of extending Overheard to include many more sources of content, and as identi.ca grows, I'm sure it will be one of them.

We've got at least one additional Overheard source that we want to add before we consider any others: blogs. We're a small team and have to make sure our efforts generate a lot of value (for users, companies, and for us :)) and the ability to overhear blog posts would be much more valuable to everybody IMO.

Thanks so much for your feedback, and I'd love to hear why you think identi.ca would be more valuable than other services to include. We're always willing to switch our priorities if we've got the wrong idea about something.

-Scott

Sandy Kemsley asked a question in Get Satisfaction on July 29, 2008 12:01:

Any plans to support identi.ca in the Overheard tab?

The Overheard tab is great -- I didn't even know that it existed until I received an auto @reply that one of my tweets had resulted in a new topic. Are there any plans to integrate an identi.ca search for a company into the same stream?
