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.
I want to be able to aggregate people's twitter followers and following. I want to know who in someone's account is both and who is one or the other. It would be a great way to find new people to follow! You could see who has amicable relationships.
Does this exist? Can it be a feature add to differentiate Socialthing from others?
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.
So.. i might just be looking in the wrong place but after i merge contacts i lose some of the features/abilities that i had when they were separate entries.
For example.
John Doe Tweet - "This is my update!! "
John Doe Facebook Status- "This is my update!! "
Once these two entries are combined, i lose the ability to reply to the tweet.
Any suggestions?
Why do you need my twitter password? My connections are public and so are my updates so why the password?
(edited to tone it down... i'm not _that_ mad.)
If you want the password to be some sort of claiming, why not ask the users to direct message your user through twitter with some Hash key you guys give each user? Private and efficient. No need to ask for passwords.
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:"?
Is there a way to merge contacts?
For example, I have a friend who is on both Twitter and Facebook and when he makes updates i see two separate updates which are visually disconnected.. Is there a way to have them visually grouped together like what happens when someone makes successive updates ?
Why are some twitter updates disappearing? I noted a twitter friend's post earlier today, and then looked back in my Lifestream (in browser) and his more recent post appears, but not the earlier one. I see other friends posts from around the same time (3 hours ago) but not his. When I go to his page on twitter, all posts are there as they should be, so it's somehow not being fed to my Lifestream.
I tried different twitter settings in socialthing! but nothing worked. Pls advise.
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)
