DISQUS

Michael R. Bernstein · 1 year ago

Make this work for identi.ca and other OpenMicroBlogging sites?

I'll definitely be looking into that. Right now everything is coded and optimized for FriendFeed and Twitter's APIs. The truth is that this is just a bridge solution until all these companies (Facebook, Google, etc) get their act together and create standards around contact portability. My choice of these two services (FriendFeed and Twitter) was based purely on their popularity and userbase.

for some reason the "subscribe" button/link does not seem to work in FF3 or safari mac osx 10.5

thoughts?

crabasa · 1 year ago

My logs indicate that FF is returning the error: errorCode= limit-exceeded

I guess my application is banging on their API too much. Unfortunately, I can't see how to call it less, given the nature of what it does. This could be a bad sign for T2FF. :(

No idea what the issue might be. Any available "subscribe" button results in "...limit exceeded".

crabasa · 1 year ago

@Rotkapchen @Andrew This problem has been fixed. I had hit FriendFeed's API subscribe limit of 2500 (not sure why they limit that...)

I think the "Invite to FF" link is misleading. I love your tool, but it was too late AFTER i had invited 21 friends to join FF when I learned from an irate follower that the DMs were cloggin up his tweet stream. So it ain't DMing. It's just putting them in the tweet stream. Try to make them DMs and I'll keep promoting your tool.

Great work, btw!

I see your point, and I hate spam as much as anyone. The tool tries to send a DM, and only falls back on a tweet if the DM fails. The DM will fail if you try to DM someone who is not following you.

Example: you tried to DM @petehayes. This user is not following you, so the DM failed. Thus the tweet.

I'll try to be more explicit about what happens you click "ok", explaining that a tweet reply may be sent.

Or just make the two actions explicit. DM the Request and Tweet the Request. And what does the red X and green checkmark mean? Probably there is a key but I didn't see it and I looked... twice.

crabasa · 11 months ago

Yeah, I should add a key. A green check means that the FF account I've
located point back to the originating Twitter account. This is a sign that
these two accounts are indeed representing the same person. A red X means
that there is no pointer in the FF account back to the Twitter account. So
maybe it's the same person, but maybe it's not, and you should be careful
before choosing to subscribe.

It'd be really cool if this also had to option of creating imaginary friends on FriendFeed for the Twitter users you follow that do not have FriendFeed accounts. This would be much less intrusive than inviting them to join FriendFeed.

crabasa · 11 months ago

I totally agree. Unfortunately, FriendFeed doesn't give us a method to
create imaginary friends using their API. :(

I have a feeling that we would see the FF version of Fail whale if they made it that easy to add imaginaries... and I bet they (FF) would loose the right to drink straight from the twitter toilet.

chender · 11 months ago

I support this one - this is the big missing piece of the puzzle - eg I have imaginary friends than real in FF

bobponce · 8 months ago

I cant seem to log in with my twitter username/password

crabasa · 8 months ago

Yeah, Twitter changed their API and now the app is broken. I don't see this getting fixed anytime soon. Sorry :(
