Re: Ebay Suggests Identity API – Can They Do it Alone?

Andrew, great to know. The talk at Paypal X Innovate didn't mention
anything about utilizing your involvement in OpenID, etc. It was very much
a talk about how Paypal was going to take an approach to identity - I don't
recall any mention of involvement with the community or standards
foundations in that effort, but I may have missed it. I was simply going
off of the talk itself and audience reaction I was seeing on Twitter, and
wanted to be sure it wasn't the case that Paypal was trying to do it alone.
This wasn't intended as conspiracy theory, nor critique in any form. I was
simply stating an observation and hope that the perception of the audience
wasn't true. Glad to hear that perception was wrong.

Bruno, no PHP - it's just CSS. You should just be able to edit the
style.css file in your theme's main directory and set the style for the
share button accordingly. I haven't looked at it enough to be able to say
which class or id you need to change though.

Well written, Louis - I'm impressed how much of this you understand!

Dave Facebook does support lists - they have for over a year now. It's all available via their API.

Thanks for adding me to your list! ;-) Now I have to decide between this and Brizzly.

Dave, Twitter does have a command-line interface. I don't think it supports lists yet though: http://help.twitter.com/forums/59008/entries/14020

No problem Nick - thanks for sharing that with me! I wanted to make sure
you got plenty of credit for being first with those.

The question of threaded replies, though... Will it be a FriendFeed model or a Blellow model? Will the replies be visible to all or just the person who posted the original tweet, or to the original poster and the retweeter?

No matter how it's done, though, I don't see Twitter satisfying everyone. Unless Twitter starts pushing off people who continue to use the old way, which would probably turn into a PR disaster for them, I don't see the copy & paste RT dying any time soon.

The threaded replies really would bring twitter in closer proximity to the FF experience, but I do wonder how listing out the RTs will impact the Twitter economy. I tend not to like the echo chamber that endless RTing creates. Will this ease that or make it worse? With lists already in place, do we really need to RT? Why, for instance, *ever* RT Mashable or Scoble? Stick them in a list, run the list feed to a widget, all done.

Re: Screenshots Emerge of the New Twitter Retweet Feature

jessestay — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:28:59 -0000

Chris, I agree, but I think eventually people will forgo that if this is
easier. Also, Twitter is going to add threaded replies I'm pretty sure, and
when that happens a comment to something like that would be pretty easy. I
think this way will become the preferred method.

Praveen, awesome! Let me know as soon as you have the slides and more
details and I'll definitely promote the heck out of it. I love standards!
That was the biggest concern I was seeing from the audience.

brunoamaral — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:21:39 -0000

I am going to take a wild guess and say it's a theme issue and not necessarily a problem with the plugin. Jesse, what would be the php code to include in the theme file?

Since I haven't been friendfeeding as much, I've missed some of your pearls of wisdom. Got the mind meld back in action on twitter. We're about to make the facebook oauth plunge with victusmedia. I've gotta get a lot smarter on ruby on rails this week so I can help build some fun tools.

Re: Services Need to Stop With the Twitter Kool-Aid

jessestay — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:45:45 -0000

That's my point though Robert - customers shouldn't have to come to you to
know their service is down. You should be notifying customers when stuff
like this happens. Twitter, a blog, etc. have their place but they can't
push to me to let me know when my service is down due to a Rackspace
mistake.

Re: Services Need to Stop With the Twitter Kool-Aid

jessestay — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:43:29 -0000

Robert, how was I even supposed to know that there was an issue? You guys
need to notify your customers when things like this happen, and Twitter is
an ineffective means of push notification in situations like this. A mass
e-mail would have been sufficient, and not very difficult. I didn't even
know there was a "scheduled maintenance". I was never notified to be
prepared of such.

Scobleizer — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:24:12 -0000

Email is fine, but lots of them get sent to junk mail folders and will be missed. Why is Twitter so paid attention to? Because it's public. Answer a question once and it is answered for everyone. Most people who don't like Twitter know to use our blog or our chat support or, even, gasp to use the old-school telephone (a real human will answer your call 24 hours a day at Rackspace).

Re: Services Need to Stop With the Twitter Kool-Aid

jessestay — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 03:47:29 -0000

Roger, that's a great idea. I'm open to that as well, but still, everyone
has e-mail. Not everyone has an iPhone.

Re: Introducing the FB Share Button Wordpress Plugin for Facebook Share

damondnollan — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 10:50:26 -0000

In Blogger, I would like to have it show the stats for each post, not count shares for the whole site. When I set up Tweetmeme, I used the following, "<data:post.url/>." However, when I try to use that in the place of share_url, I get "<data:post.url/>" and not the actual URL. What am I missing? How does this work in WordPress?

Damond, you can manually add the code to any site by following the
instructions here:

JPH, if you select manual mode, you can probably modify your theme's css and
change it that way. I'm going to try to add other ways to style it here in
the near future though.
