Can't find this in the iPhone store at the current time.

Congrats on your new chapter Robert!

2009 has been a year of change and evolution for many people I know and I'm sure your move to Canada wil be exciting.

I have no doubt we'll stay in touch using whatever the latest nifty web service is :-)

Darn. I forgot that ping.fm doesn't support Japanese. The English words also got cut off. That sucks.

What I said was it was my first visit to B-kyu gurume* spot Gyoza no Osho. Nothing special

* whatever that is in English.

Veruy weird problem with iPhone sending tiny photos. I hope a reboot will fix.

Nice shot. From somewhere in Kamiyacho?

That's more of an iPhone restriction rather than a Google one, but I think it's fair. Sync'ing to two sources from any platform is just asking for trouble.

I knew that Google was going to become a hub sooner or later so made the biggest step in the transition last May: http://hq.andrewshuttleworth.com/hq/2008/05/mai...

What's the main benefit of MobileMe? You want to keep your contacts on your Mac? I guess Google doesn't have a good solution for that yet, although if you Mac software has an Exchange sync client I don't see any reason why you couldn't sync to your Mac (unless Google restricts the Exchange sync to mobile devices only).

Just set up the iPhone sync (as described here http://www.google.com/mobile/apple/sync.html). It's part of the functionality of Exchange powered sync. The feature was mentioned in passing with the announcement but not really highlighted, surprisingly.

They will just be for ping.fm, but unfortunately they seem to up the count every time the page is refreshed so they don'r represent uniques. I probably count for at least 3 of those.

It's a good job I know you're a dog lover or given this this ambiguous photo I'd be wondering you'd done :-)

26 views of this photo so far. Not bad!

I heard from the locals you'll only get to see Fuji-san like this 1-4 times during the plum season. Supposedly very rare that it is cloudless until the early evening. Lucky day to visit.

Conversations are not threaded, there's no built in way to get @myname notifications, SMS doesn't work for Japan, there's no easy way to reply or direct message people from email.

Hopefully it would be a little less complicated than the one I did last year :-)

Ha ha! Unfortunately one of those occasional iPhone incorrect auo-correct's that I missed. I intended to type 'quieter' :-)

Re: If you only had one social site

A Fb FB. That's interesting. Maybe FB squared?

Agree with the impact of Facebook and was thinking to add the same, at the same time I asked myself "which one can’t you do without?", by rephrasing the question as "which one would cause me the most hassle if it was suddenly not there" and got to ping.fm.

Having said that, I jointly run a couple of important sites (Tokyo 2.0 and Mobile in Japan) on Ning and would actually be much more in trouble if Ning disappeared, so maybe Ning should be at the top of the list.

Well that follow up sent me down a big black rabbit hole! :-)

There are some sites that ping.fm doesn't support, including Posterous, Vox, WIndows Live Spaces & Zooomr. And some of these are covered by www.utterz.com and www.shozu.com. A simple solution to get most of my posts (which go via email on iPhone) out to these services, would be to send to the individual address for these services. But 3 addresses instead of one adds a little complexity and room for error which is sure to lead to trouble at some point. I've been trying to find a simple solution either using Ping.fm's Custom URL feature or mail forwarding filters, but for some reason Shozu isn't accepting posts this way.

Anyway - was good to see you highlight some of the more powerful features of Posterous. Ping.fm also does that nicely, but can only do one photo per email I think.

As an aside, Ping.fm also posts to Utterli, which in turn connects to some services Ping.fm doesn't itself support: http://www.utterli.com/u/connections

Late now so calling it a night :-) Look forward to another social media brain dump over more beers than intended in early Jan :-)

Re: Poll: Who Do You Twitter With?

AndrewShuttleworth — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 09:59:50 -0000

You forgot the other option :-)

Other options could be: 'People you want to build a relationship with' or 'People you don't have any other channel of communication with'

I chose other and I'd have to say that I'd be most lost without http://ping.fm. It does an amazing job of enabling me to update all the other sites I use. If I had a second and third place I'd probably say LinkedIn then Facebook.

Plaxo is also a useful site. I don't use their lifestreaming services much, but I like the function for people can maintain their address book. I guess that makes it social, but maybe not media :-)

Re: Facebook bans Japanese users › Mike Sheetal

AndrewShuttleworth — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 00:01:48 -0000

I'm a heavy user based in Japan. I wonder why I wasn't targeted. It would have seriously annoyed me if I was. I use Facebook to promote events among other things and it has become an important communication channel. Not quite as bad as losing email, but getting close.

Very cool. I've been checking the ping.fm page every few days to see if this had been added. Ping.fm really is changing the way things are done. Great work.

The iPhone camera is actually pretty decent in most conditions.

And thanks to ping.fm I can really get good real time mileage from the pictures :-) Looking forward to posting pictures to Facebook which will complete my life.

Thanks. That was helpful. Now I know how people who can't read Japanese feel :-)

I set my location more than a month ago manually and it just happened I was back in the same place. I wish Brightkite had better options for updating location.
