Twitter Sync beta

This is awesome. Thanks.

This isn't a bug, but it drove me crazy at first.....when filling in the twitter section of your profile, you don't need your whole link. Just /andthenyourname. Or did everyone already know that already?

Ooh, thanks!

Cool!

Why not using Twitter oauth instead, so you can pull out from private profiles too.

Also if you use the Twitter streaming API you can fetch tweets for all SG users within one http stream, I use it for http://4push.com, one of my iPhone application.

I love it!

I figured it was pretty straightforward since the whole url didn't fit. /: But that's just me.

Edited to add: I love this. Works for me (:

As it was new...I thought perhaps the whole URL did not fit, because it was a bug. With the others you have to put the whole link, there was no reason to think Twitter would be different. Just thought I'd give a heads up to those who might come in here wondering why it wasn't fitting.

not a bug, more a suggestion, but how about individual levels of privacy for these. i like the idea of people on my friends list being able to find me on facebook, but only my friends.

I actually read Niobe's post before I went to my profle, so this helped me.

and now my recent activity feed is a twitter feed.

...terrif. :|

I like the auto synching idea, although it is not for me. I am glad that you guys are bringing in other social media services.

Is this just in one direction (from Twitter to SG) or both directions?

i would guess one way seen as i'm assuming sg would need some form of authentication before it could access your twitter to post there, which it doesn't seem to ask for.

Oh, this is bad, I post to twitter enough as it is. heh.

Any ideas if SG will ever make a iphone friendly site, or a iphone app?

Pooh, I don't seem to have the option. Excellent idea, though. I look forward to the official release, if/when it comes.

Yeah, this needs to be separate from the update page. No way anyone would be able to follow it if even 2 or 3 active tweeters are on their friends list. I've updated 3 or 4 times since I checked the box and did not realize the impact it was having.
