Get Satisfaction gets contacts!
We want you to be able to keep track of the most helpful people you encounter on Get Satisfaction, and now you can.
Next time you visit your dashboard, you should see a message like this:
Tell us what you think of our import process, which other services are important to you, or other such things.

Inappropriate?First!
But, seriously, this is cool. Importing from Twitter was a breeze -- though I was :( to enter my password... But psyched to see oAuth from Gmail -- though I was :( cuz something broke. But I'll try again.
Very slick, dopplr-like adding once you get to your list of potential contacts. Nicely done!
Update: auth process from gmail and flickr is rather slow at the moment -- could be on my end -- but is working.
I’m psyched.

Yeah, unfortunately, Twitter doesn't support OAuth yet. When they do, we'll be sure to update our importer. Google's OAuth support for contacts is "alpha" level right now, so it may be unstable for a while as they finish working out the details. -
Yeah, we'll be rolling out updates, removing the passwords from each service as it becomes possible, and adding more services like linked in or facebook if and when they become available

Inappropriate?If you are seeing slow import times it could also have to do with the DB slowness issues we've had over the last few days in addition to some poor code of mine in the process that is too chatty with the DB.
After I get some sleep my goal is to optimize that substantially.

Inappropriate?Lovely work, team! My two main request are a) an Add All option so that I don't need to manually add them one by one, and b) a more obvious visual state for differentiating between added and not yet added people.
Totally love the Twitter/Flickr user matching.
I’m feeling connected.

++ to both a & b. the dopplr effect is nice (switch to yellow text bg) and would actually fit in with your other ajax transitions.

Inappropriate?I'd love it if i could go to my Dashboard and select an option or page where I can view *only* replies and comments by my Contacts.
A feature like this will let me keep up with the latest activity of people I find knowledgeable, without having to swim through everyone else's posts -- basically using my list of Contacts as a mechanism for separating the wheat from the chaff.
I’m in a good mood

yes! This is definitely the next step.

Mmmm, cream of wheat. I like it!

Scott -- I was debating there for a moment between using 'wheat from chaff' vs. 'cream rising to the top'. LOL! Cream of wheat works!

Inappropriate?Absolutely! Yes, mdy, this is a great idea, and it's exactly what we want. We want people to be able to follow their Contacts' conversations on our site. That's key to having people -- like you and your extensive knowledge of Twitter -- be more visible as a person with expert-like status.
