Inappropriate?Add support for brightkite. Glad to see you are adding Flickr. -
Inappropriate?Hey thanks Robert!
That service is definitely in the integration queue.
Would like to hear from you on what feature we should integrate next ( http://getsatisfaction.com/pikchur/to... )
Thanks!

Inappropriate?Any service that Ping.fm connects to and Flickr sort of sites.
The Ping.fm connection would be good since we can upload images to the same services we ping to as well. It would be consistent, even if it's just a text link for now.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?Agreed, on the Ping.fm connection. The only problem I foresee is redundancy.
If I already have my Twitter, Pownce, Plurk synced with Pikchur, and they are also synced with Ping.fm, then if you forget to change your posting options, this can cause double posts.
I suppose it would ultimately be up to the sophistication of the user to ensure good posting. We will discuss this integration and update the post to let you know.
Thanks for the suggestion!

This is one of the best points

Could you explain how double posts would occur? -
Assumption: You have Ping and Twitter synced to your Pikchur account. Double post scenario : You post a Pic to your Pikchur account which then notifies Ping and Twitter, but you also have twitter posting to your Ping. This therefore will post to your twitter once from Pikchur and once from Ping, unless you are savvy and disable your Pikchur or Ping posting to your twitter. Does that clear it up ?

Oh is that what you mean by sync, if you look at Socialthing! they have integrated Ping.fm recently and have done it very well. As ST! already had the feature to post to Facebook, Twitter and Pownce, when the addition of Ping.fm was the fourth option if you already had Twitter selected and Ping.fm as well, it would not post to Twitter twice because they somehow managed to remove Twitter from Ping.fm's update list. Perhaps it's in Ping.fm API as you can already select which services you would like to post to.

Yeah, like I said, it's doable as ST! has done this pretty successfully. Early on though, they did have the double post issue. I remember posting and getting double Twitter / Pownce posts.
If the Ping.fm integration does happen, we will make it fool proof and ensure no double posts occur.
The alternative to the Ping.fm integration would be to keep adding services and eventually ( soon ) catch up to Ping.fm.
Either way this is what we are going to be discussing, and I will update the post to let you know the outcome.
Thanks a lot for your input
