Ping.fm support

easy then we can post from ONE window on the desktop ( Delete or Edit)

Try using one of their IM bots (they're on just about everything). It's a lot more convenient than using another a client. ( Delete or Edit)

Twhirl is a free application. I happen to consider it one the best examples of an AIR cross-platform application to have yet be written and released (it's the only app that gives me a *truly* consistent interface across Linux, Mac OSX and Windows-- even Java apps like Eclipse, or Firefox/Thunderbird have noticeable differences on Mac OSX). But it is free, and we all benefit from that. This kind of demanding attitude doesn't inspire the developers to help you, I promise. As a developer of free software myself, I would be more likely to delay any feature you request with such a tone of voice just out of spite. ( Delete or Edit)

Ro11z, while I appreciate your passion for this feature, I have to agree with Randy, that the demanding attitude is not inspirational. That said, we will not spite you... we simply have to weigh new features against all the other requests, and our internal roadmap. Sorry that we haven't been able to add this one quick enough.

hey ild be willing and happy to pay for a client that gives me ease of use with all the services out there. so bringing the (its free) augument dont wash with me. its just they to remember ease of use more than fuctionality.

dont mean any offence ( Delete or Edit)

Hey Ro11z, no worries, no offense taken. =) We just have to prioritize features right now. Everyone's comments and suggestions help in that process. The best thing you can do to affect the priority of a feature is to be sure and encourage anyone else you know who is interested in the feature to come here and click on "I like this idea".

I understand where everyone is coming from on this process. My thoughts are these:

Yes, if I could pay even up to like $10 ~$15 for a product that would connect to Ping.fm from something like Adobe Air and allow me to post using a character count (and really, that's ALL it needs to be) I'd be happy. If there were more bells and whistles, sure... but it doesn't need to have more (for me).

But Twhirl is not a paid service, it's free, and so we have to treat it as such - same as you would respect someone who *gives* you something... you don't often place more demands (not requests, demands) back upon them in return.

While, yes, this feels like something super-easy to implement (to me) and makes me slightly scratch my head going "really? it's still not implemented yet?" I also accept that Twhirl is free and therein I can't demand or require as much from it (if anything). All I can do is nicely request and make my voice heard.

At the same time, if I find a product that will allow me to do similar functions to Twhirl and is $10 ~ $15 AND posts to ping.fm ... I'd likely switch in a heartbeat and Twhirl would lose a diehard customer that promotes them every chance I can get.

It's just an honest part of the world about this situation. One I respect and admire, while also treating with honestly for both myself and the product I use and adore. ( Delete or Edit)

They're commenting about supporting twurl.nl as a URL-shortening service, actually. ( Delete or Edit)

Hi Myriam (thanks for helping test this pre-release version). Ping.fm in not listed under accounts as another service, rather it is an optional feature listed under the general settings of your twitter account(s). ( Delete or Edit)
