  3. @technoviking: I know about the crasher on adding streams, but I've not seen it do that when configuring appearance. What caused that?

  6. Google Buzz API appears to use AtomPub for posting. Problem: there are no good client implementations of AtomPub in Python. This will be fun

  7. @sandy: to me, it just looks like FriendFeed.

  8. On a positive note, Google has been hiring smart people like @chrismessina who care about fixing social network interop. There is still hope

  9. Existing "standards" for social networking interop are a lot more painful than a straight JSON REST API. Don't ask what I think of pshb.

  10. I suspect that Google's commitment to using existing open standards for Buzz is probably going to make it harder to implement client support

  11. @v0xel: very strange. Flickr's findByUsername API call can't seem to find you. Tbh it looks like a bug in Flickr itself. :-(

  12. @v0xel: Flickr support in Gwibber 2.29.1 should be fully functional. Please do report bugs you find in it. Thanks!

  17. @mtrausch: yes, I wanted people to use the messaging indicator menu instead. But I might have to bring back the tray icon due to demand.

  18. @mtrausch: thanks! It was already reported earlier today. There is already a fix committed in trunk that will roll out to the PPA soon. :-)

  19. @ronnypfannschmidt: conversation mode, like the identi.ca context view? I'd like to do that, but there is no API support for it yet.

  20. @ronnypfannschmidt: it should show at least 100 messages at all times. Is it showing less? There will eventually be a full history viewer.
