A comment on the idea "LinkedIn Should Drop The #in From A Status Update When Syncing With Twitter" in LinkedIn:

Thanks for the quick reply Adam (it says a lot about Linkedin's customer service)!

Those are two good points to keep the #in, however it would be nice to have the option to turn it off much like the many applications that sync your twitter status to Facebook allow the option to remove #fb – Mitchell McKenna, on December 07, 2009 17:01

LinkedIn Should Drop The #in From A Status Update When Syncing With Twitter

The purpose of the #in is to tell LinkedIn to sync this tweet as a Linkedin status update, there's no need to actually include the #in in the status update.

Rss Feeds Don't Include Full Tweets With New RT Feature

Since tweets sent out with the new RT feature can potentially enable the tweet to be more than 140 characters, they are getting chopped off in the RSS feeds.

This is a problem for twitter apps that run on RSS feeds! Is this going to be fixed Twitter?

mine appears to have been fixed now...

Apparently this is fixed in Adobe Air 2.0, but if your using Ubuntu and Adobe Air 1.5, this is what I did...

I created a shell script called tweetdeck.sh in my home directory the contents of the file are:
“export GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID=Default && /opt/TweetDeck/bin/TweetDeck”
i then made it executable:
chmod a+x tweetdeck.sh
finally i changed the launcher command to /home/username/tweetdeck.sh and re-added the nifty icon under the launcher properties

Would be handy to have a Feedly gChat bot

For those feeds you want to know about new articles in real time. When your subscribing to a feed, you could click a checkbox to have the bot message you when there's a new article from the feed. Viewing the article would then mark it as read in Feedly.

Hey Leo,
Great to hear the blog.runthere.com RSS feed is up and user "FitBlog" RSS is on the way!

I asked about the RSS feeds because I think more integration into social networks would greatly increase the RunThere user base! I'd like to see it in twitter and lifestreaming services such as FriendFeed. I use a lifestreaming service called Sweetcron on my site mitchmckenna.com. Lifestreaming services like this can bring in your activity through RSS feeds. You could see posts like "Leo just completed running a new route (6.22 miles)" with a picture of the route or a Google map.


Finally, congrats on the great interview over at InsideFacebook.com, ironically I was thinking about creating a simpilar app just 4 months ago but more based getting points for completing "challenges" from friends to run suggested new routes, or a particular grid in which a user must run routes until all roads in that grid are covered. Any plans for a challenging type of feature in the future?

Thanks.

Delicous Facebook Profile Box Shows Old Account's Bookmarks

I started using a new delicious account. I removed my Facebook account permissions from the old Delicious account, removed the facebook box from my boxes page, and removed the app from facebook. I then signed into my new Delicious account, granted facebook permissions which added the app back to my Facebook apps, but now when I add the box it's still hooked up to my old Delicous account and not updating with my new bookmarks from the 'mitchellmckenna' account. Any help?

Need RSS feeds for "My Fitness Blog" and "My Routes"

Need RSS feeds for "My Fitness Blog" and "My Routes" so friends can say up to date on my new routes and achievements! There's also no RSS feed for the site's dev blog we can subscribe to.

Feedly Cover Article Embed has a Bug

When you click on an article, it only embeds in just that article's column and you can't see the entire embedded article. Video Example:



Firefox 3.5.2
