I'm unable to add last.fm. It keeps giving an error: "There was an error adding your account." Any ideas? This has been going on since I signed up days ago.
How do I combine usernames between Twitter and Flickr now?
You used to be able to simply click and rename people (which was the really nice thing about SocialThing!) - now you can't. How do you do this now? I'm a bit confused...
I'm seeing duplicate status updates. New Socialthing! doesn't dedupe my Twitter and Facebook posts, so I'm getting stuff like...
is off to the Radio Academy fellows' lunch today (and wonders whether 'fellow' is a masculine noun, and implies they're all blokes)
twitter 10 minutes ago

facebook 10 minutes ago
am I the only one with problems after the 2.0 upgrade? The auto update feature is not working right (from time to time it just won't update) and there are a lot of messages by others on twitter that just won't show in socialthing.
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.
It would that the combining of various feeds does not work if there's a time difference of more than a minute or so between fetching/viewing.
For an example I mainly use twitter and Pownce with SocialThing:
24 mins ago SocialThing checked my Pownce friends and found one update - and displayed the one new item.
A short time later I am informed that I have two updates from twitter. I check and find that the oldest one is the twitter version of the Pownce update. But instead of being combined with the Pownce version, it is it's only entity. So one new twitter post to read in fact.
A few mins later, I am informed that I have one new Pownce message to read. This Pownce message however turns out to be a copy of the youngest of the the two twitter messages before. Again this message has not been combined.
The interesting thing about this four messages is: when I look at my time line, SocialThink knows that the time of posting for the 1st pair was 32 mins ago, and the time of posting for the 2nd pair was 27 mins ago. It just hasn't combined them.
Interestingly enough I don't seem to run into this issue much if I'm haven't been logged into the site and I'm reading catchup on people's postings.
I guess in short I'm asking, could we have the combining be a little smarter please?
After changing my twitter username, ST! keeps using my old username. I've deleted the twitter info in ST, logged out / logged in, and added in the new account info -- even with a different username and password on the twitter side, ST keeps pointing to the old (non-existent) account name.
Flickr doesn't seem to be showing comments or new uploads by my contacts.. I'm not sure what data is supposed to be taken from flickr for my life stream but I would figure these would be included. If they're not... can I put in a request to add them?
For each service when something new comes up in my lifestream (everything i've done) you should make it so each service is grouped together like it is on friendfeed. For example for Digg it could say you have dugg 12 stories and there is an expand button so you can see them all separately. This would be really helpful for people who have a lot of services or post a lot.
Facebook states that the SocialThing application has been blocked due to a violation in the privacy policy. Also, my personal facebook account has been disabled. Is this because I was using the application?
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.
