My facebook updates are not showing up. Before, I was getting the reauthenticate message. But that is not showing up anymore. I have selected the option to keep me logged on in the facebook window. But still no updates. Any ideas of what might be wrong?
Facebook: I keep getting asked to "Reauthenticate" my Facebook details in my "Settings", having added Facebook to my Socialthing account; why would this be? I have followed the steps through to add Facebook to my Socialthing account.
Plurk and Twitter (and Facebook, too) handle the processing of links, posts over 140 characters, and special characters in a different manner. Therefore, one overlong post, a post w/ a link, or a smiley across these services could appear as 3 different posts.
It would be cool if Socialthing! knew how different services dealt with these anomalies and output one beautiful post.
Why do Facebook updates only appear after the lifestream has been open for a couple minutes? Then I have to refresh for those updates to snap in to the right chronological order. Why aren't the updates present in the stream when I load the page, like recent Twitter and Plurk updates? This behavior is inconsistent and slightly annoying. I like to load up the page, take a quick look, then close it to go do something else or leave my desk. I would prefer the updates to be there already. Right now it's faster to load Facebook separately, check both tabs, and close both. I like SocialThing's goal of streamlining social networking, however it only seems to work if I want to stay chained to an open browser all day.
Thanks,
Joe
I noticed that I have to individually post to pownce and facebook because the post are not posting. I also noticed that I sometimes have to re-authenticate facebook.
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?
When I reply to someone on Twitter, (perhaps even Pownce or any other service that supports replies) I'd like Socialthing to automatically know to only post to services that support replied, I believe "@" is the only thing that denotes this.
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.
Congratulations about Socialthing! I really like it... The best advantage for me is that we don't need to search for friends again!!
I don't know if this is valid but if it is then Socialthing may face several issues with privacy of Facebook users. I explain:
Some of my friends have their profiles-photos etc visible only to their friends. If such a friend post new pictures then I see them in my Socialthing Friendstream...So if I permit facebook updates to appear even only to my facebook friends in Socialthing then they will be able to see the private photos of a friend of mine that they are not friends with! Is that correct ? If yes it can lead to various problems!
Please would you tell me whether Facebook users who are included on the Facebook "Limited Profile" list are considered to be "Friends on the Facebook service" within SocialThing?
I ask because I have my status updates on Facebook visible only to users who are not on my Limited Profile. If those users join SocialThing, they will see information that I have configured to be protected in my Facebook settings. This may also apply to posted items or other Facebook activity.
There seems to be a problem with Facebook on Socialthing. I authenticated several times. Each time it works. Then when I reload the Settings page I see "Reauthenticate" for Facebook again. Anyone else seeing this?
I removed Facebook newsfeed from my lifestream but I'm still receiving friends' status updates. Even though I unchecked the box to show Facebook updates in my Lifestream they are still showing up.
