So I downloaded the new Loopt Mix app this morning, thinking it would provide a deeper level of functionality to the Mix service on the core Loopt app. When I fired it up, it asked me to create a Loopt Mix profile, and that it would pull the profile data from my existing Loopt account (screenshot 1). As soon as the process was done, my profile was created, but some information was missing and updates posted to my profile via the Loopt app and PC website were not showing up on the profile on Loopt Mix.

I deleted the profile, and checked that all of my personal information on Loopt (email address, phone number, etc.) were up to date since i switched to a new iPhone with a new phone number a couple weeks ago. Once everything was verified to be updated, I had Loopt Mix create the profile again, and it generated a blank one (screenshot 2).

So, the question I have is whether or not Loopt Mix is supposed to be actually pulling my information from my Loopt profile and the updates I post to it like the old basic version of Mix used to, or if updates to Mix have to be done in the Mix app. If so, it seems far too redundant to me, rendering Loopt Mix an app/service feature that's going to sit unused.

I understand that the new iteration of the mix feature is in beta, so I don't know if I'm experiencing a bug or if this is actually the way it is supposed to work...

Back when I discovered Plurk, I thought it was a very nifty concept (although the horizontal flash timeline really needs to go). I downloaded the iPhone app, and had a nice vertical flow with dates, which made it even better than the website.

So I haven't used the app for a couple months now. At first, I thought it was something an update would fix, but the problem is still persisting.

I'm firing up the app, and it says it's "Loading Plurks..." And that little circular loading animation runs and runs and runs. I've been letting it run for awhile before I started typing this, at 7pm PST, and still nothing. Oh, and to boot, it's seemingly unable to load them and my phone is connected to my home wifi.

So, uh...what's going on with this thing?



It shouldn't take over 10 minutes to load Plurks.

I used the Tumblr provided javascript code to embed my tumblog into my Blogger blog. It's a fluid 3 column layout, and when videos are embedded they're too big and get clipped. Does anyone know how I would get the videos to down a custom width?
