A comment on the question "Hulu, flash, miro problem" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Actually, sg's solution is very helpful. And not a marketing "scam" for Firefox. You might read it again, if you are so inclined. – xwaver, on July 16, 2009 06:04

This feature was added recently to Ping.fm via the @d mood tag. Thank you, developers!

A comment on the problem "None of Flock's features are working" in Flock:

Evan said to me in his last office hours session that the developers had solved this in the new version due this or next month. – xwaver, on May 03, 2009 08:12

A comment on the idea "delicious" in Ping.fm:

I'm sure that the implementation plan is the bulk of the discussion, not the "should we or shouldn't we". They've got good work ahead of and behind them. – xwaver, on March 27, 2009 03:31

xwaver replied on March 17, 2009 21:04 to the question "Why does the site feed for things like Hulu not work under Linux?" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Some notes:

1. Hulu shows can be added manually by ('Sidebar' menu > 'Add Site' > 'http://www.hulu.com/heroes' or whatever other show.)


2. This shows the show title normally in the sidebar, and presents a xulrunner page when selected.


3. Attempting to play a video in the resulting window displays the message 'Hulu requires Flash Player 9 or higher'.


4. Flash Player 10, which should contain all the necessary elements is available for download, but not compile or redistribution


5. xulrunner 1.9 allows a linked version of /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so in other applications, like Flock, Prism, etc.

So, long story short, can the developers create a workaround that allows a scan of /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so, /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so, /home/user/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so, or any other reasonable directory so that Miro can use a native copy of Flash, and thereby solve the problems?

A comment on the idea "MySpace mood option changes with ping status" in Ping.fm:

MySpace also has a new front-end for status and mood. Has the API changed to allow mood update also? As posted below, they added freeform mood options a while back. – xwaver, on February 28, 2009 15:54

With the new MySpace status functionality in their web-client, is mood update in the new API?

xwaver replied on February 28, 2009 15:46 to the idea "ping.fm" in Flock:

Ping.fm also allows some other features that make it a very powerful back-end, like location posting and a set of already developed commands and shorthand for micro-blogging, status update, blog posting, and link posting (via delicious). I agree that since they are constantly adding services to their back-end, that it would add more functionality than Flock is prepared to commit to. For example, they now offer AIM and GTalk status integration as well.

Confirmed problem in Linux (Fedora 10 i386). Fixed by rename of flock-data.sqlite.

Confirmed problem in Linux (Fedora 10 i386). Could have something to do with Firefox upgrade a few days ago?

Same for Facebook, Plaxo Pulse, and LinkedIn status. Facebook and Twitter microblog still work.
