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.

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!

It would be cool if the flickr photos would expand on the page when you click them instead of going to the page. Kinda like it does on the tumblr feed page.

i can update my twitter via text messaging from my phone, why can't i update social thing via text so it updates everything?

What would be interesting to think about implementing, if I were doing this, is a way to notify users when a third-party site causes a socialthing! service interruption. Especially if st is aware of an external issue, as with the Flickr API (mentioned in the reply to the problem I reported yesterday).

This would have been useful to me yesterday @Twhirl when it suddenly dropped avatars b/c the Twitter API changed twice in a few hours. Other users complained about Twhirl, not realizing it wasn't the product's fault. It'd be unfortunate for people to leave st b/c of something that isn't your site. Generally, some users also complain about "features" of third party Twitter clients that are actually attributed to the API (like that max # of tweet requests you can make in an hour).

A possible downside to this may be notifying users that something is temporarily effed if they aren't already noticing it, although it might be worth it to users who are noticing errors to know it's not st.

You've probably thought about this already, it's probably a buttload of feedback mediation work but you guys do such a stellar job already, I can't help but think the idea may be useful and possible.

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.

How are you going to deal with double posts? Like for example if someone updates their Facebook profile with Twitter and I am following both. Maybe you can remove this redundancy

I've been noticing lots of "synch issues". I'm currently having issues with last.fm (which has now entirely dissapeared) and Livejournal. Would it be possible to put something up near the top that says, Hey we're having a problem on our end, it's not you. It would be more informative than hey, we couldn't connect to server X.

What's the timeline for getting more services on Socialthing? I use a lot of services not supported, and many other lifestream services support more. But I like Socialthing a lot better and am willing to wait around.

Here are some I'd like to see the most:
Mixx, Picasa Web, Personal Blogs (RSS), Rss in general

Seems like the lifestream is since last log-in. But sometimes I like to browse longer and re-browse the past.
