Recently active ideas in Socialthing! about socialthing! Beta Release

I couldn't read anything anyone was posting on twitter in SocialThing but has assumed it was just due to issues twitter seemed to be having. I then saw today however that other people where using it fine with no problem. So I decided I might try deleting and re-adding my twitter account to see if that fixed thing. To my shock, the account was sitting there stating "Reauthenticate".

The only sign I had that I needed to do this was when I looked at the account settings and saw that text. Would be a lot better if some message or something similar was displayed that you could see from the FriendStream when this was needed.

I would like a tabbed way of seperating the social networks I'm a part of. Having them all jumbled together is kind of disorienting.

Can I use ping.fm to do my posting, instead of Socialthing!?

ping.fm covers way more websites, and also it means less hassle on Socialthing!'s servers. So everyone wins!

What does anyone think? Is this a winner?

Can you add a feature allowing for auto-updating, so I don't have to click to show the updates? That'd be great.

I love that new updates are in yellow - but I hate that I have to always click a button to "See Them" when they come through. Can new updates be added to my friendstream automatically?

I'm sure this is in the works, but a socialthing! URL (www.socialthing.com/user) could be a good way to show friends what socialthing! is without having to sign up for beta. Maybe a short stream with 5-10 things I did within the last hour or day etc.

When the API opens for "Plurk" please add it to your services. It will be much appreciated. Thanks!

It would be best if Socialthing! support offline mode. I can browse my friends' status without Internet connection.

It would be great if i could choose between showing every single song a hear, or only the weekly charts.
The same for my friends charts.

There are a lot of services that I'd like added to ST. Frankly, I believe it's a great idea, but without such extensive support the goal of having one destination only is impossible to reach, for me at least, at this point. For a list of what I'd like to be supported, take a look at what Ping.fm supports. Highlights for me: Jaiku, Plurk, identi.ca.

So, socialthing.com is pretty slick.
However, with twitter and Facebook added, the stream is overloaded with less important information. My friend's less frequent flickr photos, del.icio.us bookmarks, Youtube videos, and Pownce notes are more important, but I still like having my twitter and Facebook hooked in.
Maybe a "digest" option?
OR even better might be a set of sliders (similar to Facebook's Newsfeed preferences) to adjust the frequency of specific service updates. That way I can fine tune what is important to me, and therefor displayed more, or more frequently.

Is there a way to disable this? And if not, could you add it?

When I'm reading on Twitter, I can see how people have posted. For example, it might read "10 minutes ago from Socialthing!"

Reading in Socialthing, I'd just see the "10 minutes ago" part. When reading in Hahlo, I'll get the full string, so it seems to be something that can be read in.

It would be nice if Socialthing could show that information as well. Thanks for your consideration!

Wouldn't it be nice if you could choose if you want to view the page with a 100% width or a fixed width of for example 800px?

I'd love to see categories for my friends, i.e. co-workers, family, etc. Similar to the way IM lets you distinguish different people. That way when I'm at work, I can see what my co-workers are up to and ignore them during the weekend.

Sorry, this isn't blog spam, but I've expanded on my ideas @ http://www.albiniak.com/social-media/...

I really, really like socialthing 2.0. I've ditched twhirl in favor of using this full time. I don't care about a desktop/AIR app. Keep improving what you've got going - it's a great (social)thing!

1) It should be easier to find historical tweet replies and direct messages. If I missed it, I missed it.
2) Tinyurl (or similar) integration a la Twhirl.
3) Twitpic (or similar) integration a la Twhirl.
4) Aggregate profiles for the user's lifestream I clicked on and display it. Don't make me click again (and leave your site) to see it.
5) Have the lifestream updates follow me around the site. If this doesn't make sense, spend some time on http://www.thesixtyone.com
6) Summize / twemes integration - it'd be so dope if I could follow a #hashtag as a lifestream right in socialthing. I'd bump this to my #1 feature request.

I'll buy the coffee/beer/aspirin :)

Great job on the updates to the lifestream. Now I can leave SocialThing up all the time, instead of checking the various services. Thanks a bunch - great improvement!

In love with your service already, however, I would suggest adding a separator after an update on the feed. Social thing lets me know that a new feed has been posted but the only thing that let's me know which ones were added is a small increase in padding.

Basically: press the Show Updates Feeds, show the feeds and then add a separator for easy reading.

Would be cool if our lifestream could export an RSS feed, for use elsewhere :)

You can currently do that "kind of thing" using yahoo pipes, dunno, what do others think?

It'd be cool if you could sort (or better, filter) not only by time and person, but also by service, i.e. show only flickr posts on both the Lifestream and Friendstream. Or select multiple, like show only twitter and facebook, but nothing else.

Not sure if this is already in the pipeline, but it'd be cool!
