Can I tell socialthing when two accounts from two different services are really the same person? This is super easy in multi-protocol chat clients like Adium and it would really help me out! People often post the same thing to facebook & twitter and it would be nice to see them merged into one event.
How do I integrate all of my friends' updates? On Friendfeed, I have the ability to add friends. With Socialthing!, I'm guessing that those updates that I DO see are from those who already have a Socialthing! acct. Help?!?
Just got my SocialThing invite. Thank you. Signed in. First thing it wants are my Twitter and Facebook passwords.
Dudes, I don't know you this well. Err, actually -- I don't know anyone this well.
Yes, I know you want my Twitter password "to use the API." In other words, to fetch my followers? To tweet on my behalf? Will you store this? Will you tweet an ad for your service? What's all this? Not only do you ask for my password, you won't tell me how you'll use it?
And how the hell did you manage to make Facebook ask for my Facebook password when I'm logged in? Just grab an infinite session key. It requires me to check a box and hit OK. This thing made me suspicious and queasy.
And you know what? FriendFeed and MyBlogLog didn't ask me for any passwords. And they had lots more services for me to fill in than Twitter and Facebook.
So anyway. I left it at that for now. Perhaps I'll check back some time later to see if you still want my passwords.
it started doing the facebook import and crashed after facebook was supposed to hand back the transaction. When I refresh the page it is blank with only the background green faded image.
Is there a way to show a feed from only one app at a time? I like keeping up to date, but showing all updates on one board gets overwhelming. And the other social groups I am with are yet to be incorporated into socialthing.
Sometimes when I go to "socialthing.com", one certain facebook status update always repeats every two entries or so. So say person A posted an update, every two or three entries would always be person A's update. However, when I refresh the lifestream, the dupes go away.
Many of my friends use both Twitter and Facebook, and have their tweets update their Facebook status. This basically results in double posts. Is there a way/option to filter out Facebook status updates that contain "is twittering:"?
The lifestream, should show (in addition to what is shows now), all the items from your facebook news feed. Currently I social thing doesn't replace logging in to Facebook to check my newsfeed. But I wish it would.
I've been going through my LifeStream with the iPhone/iPod Touch interface - would be great if when you clicked on an individual picture in an update it went to the iPhone interface on Facebook to show the picture rather than the desktop interface. Same would be good with the Flickr pictures - could use the Y!Go Flickr interface instead.
I keep getting this - twitter: Rate limit exceeded. Clients may not make more than 70 requests per hour. -- - I'd rather see the twitter updates than the facebook ones (which are working)
And is there a way to not show facebook updates that ARE Twitter feeds (that will be redundant)
Posting to Twitter, Pownce, and Facebook all at once gives the "is twittering" in the Facebook status. When posting to Facebook by itself, it doesn't show the "is twittering". Not a big deal. I just know that some people get annoyed by the "is twittering" thing anyway.
Also, I was able to authorize Facebook's posting permissions from the Lifestream post tab, but not through the iPhone app. I was using the iPhone app when I saw the Tweet update about Facebook. Right away I started searching Facebook to find the permissions setting and couldn't find it. All good though, it's fun trying to figure stuff out.
When i try to authenticate Flickr, Vimeo, and Facebook to My Services list they should open in a new tab or a new window where the address bar is visible. I refuse to enter passwords into a window where I can't tell what the URL is. Plus I shouldn't even have to use a Facebook password since you can use an application.
