Profile employment info needs automatic chronological sort

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but as an fyi, it's a bit disconcerting to see the company / employment history on the profile not sorted automatically chronologically / reverse-chronologically by end-date. People usually add their most recent employer first but it gets really chaotic after a while when it doesn't do this automagically for you! Manually editing entries quickly become painful :)

Global contact adds for multiple network

Here's an idea: since you can grab contacts from profile APIs, why not create a service where you can connect to contacts already on those network as well?

For example, when I just added someone as a friend on FriendFeed, one of the things that I do almost immediately is to also add them on Twitter + Flickr, then eventually also on Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.. this process gets repeated so often that it's getting annoying.

Would be great if someone would implement something like this, and it seems to me that you guys would be the ideal candidate!

RSS Feed for Network add

This idea just dawn on me: what about creating an RSS feed for network that you belong to? I find myself tweeting this whenever I join a new network - this way it's good for the network as well as a good way to let your friends know that you're on it - like auto tweet: I just joined @tumblr! Follow me at http://seeminglee.tumblr.com or something similar like that. It would be good for everybody: win win win!!!

Your Facebook app is not implementing the visibility settings

1. First of all, thanks for implementing the visibility settings, particularly in separating DandyID profile visibility vs Extensions visibility, very helpful! Now people don't think that I'm too crazy looking at my profile (while I can still lock my URLs as necessary - a strategy which you clearly recognize as per your recent ClaimYouID service. Great idea btw!)

2. While the visibility settings appear to be working on DandyID profile as well as the JS widgets, it does not appear to be working on your Facebook app http://apps.facebook.com/dandyid/ - on my Facebook profile http://facebook.com/seeminglee you can see that it is still showing all the services. You might want to look into it!

Problem canceling multiple domains

I registered 200+ domains with you guys a couple of years back, and I tried to cancel them after you changed my registration from $9.95/year to $34.95/year without any warning.

When I tried to cancel the plans, I was dismayed by the fact that I cannot do it all at once, but must cancel each one individually. I thought that I'd just suck it up and go through them one-by-one, but have been even more annoyed since every time I tried that your server returned an error.

I feel cheated that I have been paying you close to $6000 / year for services which I do not benefit from nor could I remove myself from, which will become $12,000 total this year.

The worst of all is that I could not find a single contact information to report this situation while this is happen.

It would be great if you can do something about it soon.

JavaScript widget buttons tweaks

I like how you guys have placed the logos inside more button-like UI in the javascript widget, but I think that the lines are a bit dark right now and they fight heavily with the logos. I'd love to see if they can go ~50% lighter and maybe change to the darker color only upon rollover.

I do think that it's a nice addition though--it's certainly more clickable now.

API to retrieve feed URL

The API is good as a personal id card. Would you consider extending it to retrieve the RSS URLs as well?

See-ming Lee replied on June 13, 2009 02:37 to the idea "Can DandyID widget's style not be locked in with the service?" in DandyID:

Sure thing - although you probably have noticed that I've solved the API issue (although may not be what you intended). Essentially, in order for me to retrieve data, the username used must be the numeric one and not the custom URL... I can already think of some more things I'd like the API to have but I guess I'll find you on IM instead then. :)

apostrophe not escaped in xml returned by API

API escaped all the entity escaped except apostrophe... I'm doing it to my data to hard-code ' right now but you probably fix the code... or maybe wrap it with CDATA?

A comment on the problem "Is the API running?" in DandyID:

Hey I'd like you to know that I have solved the problem on my own. It turns out that your system apparently doesn't allow me to use the username with your site (aka seeminglee) as my user id but that if I use my numeric id whihch you assigned to me when I first signed up before you allowed custom URLs, it does return stuff back.

so I'm now using 155 and it works now - but the md5 still doesn't though – See-ming Lee, on June 11, 2009 23:20

Can DandyID widget's style not be locked in with the service?

It's great that you've so many different choices when it comes to "Universally portfable social identity," but instead of constraining folks to have either the Blogger widget to get icon-only display, or Wordpress with the list-style display, why can't I get a JavaScript-driven thingy that display like what you for Wordpress to be universally available?

So in other words, pick a style, pick your service.. instaed of style-service lock-in.

Essentially I wish to migrate my current networking id page to be data-driven by you guys but since I have no luck so far with accessing api, I was wondering what other options I have.

Oh and btw - very amazed with the number of products you launched recently.

Just so I know this is what you're refering to, here are my tests and results:

1. return_services
Using DandyID:
http://www.dandyId.org/api/return_ser...{my_api_key}/seeminglee/public

Using md5sum of my email address used on your site:
http://www.dandyId.org/api/return_ser...{my_api_key}/{email_md5sum}/public

Btoh returned this:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<services>

</services>

2. return_profile

http://www.dandyid.org/api/return_pro...{my_api_key}/seeminglee/public

returned


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<userprofile>

</userprofile>

3. Invalid entries

Tested with malformed requests and system returned error message so I can only assume that it is *is* getting my requests.

4. my API key

Could it be problem with the api_key I was given?

5. Service Filter

Also I have enabled all the of the services (copied all from left column to right column on this page: http://www.dandyid.org/beta/apiservic... - which I assume is what I ought to do even though the filter panel was originally empty and there's no instruction on the page stating whether by including on the list, it means to include or filter those services.

This is all I can think of right now. Hopefully I'll hear back from you soon. If you'd prefer an IM session, let me know. you can find me on aol, gtalk, msn or yahoo. userid listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:See...
