Re: [slim] Tweet this album/song option?
So, after getting 7.4.1 to work on my ReadyNAS, and then figuring out
how to get the Facebook plugin working (had to go to mysqueezebox.com
and install an app, even though there was already a facebook plugin
installed--which made little sense to me), I'm now happily posting
awesome artists/songs/albums to Facebook.
But I have two questions:
1) Why does the icon on FB show up as an original Squeezebox, and not a
Squeezebox Classic? Wouldn't it be better (for promotions) to have a
more appealing looking model? Or at least the correct one that it was
posted from?
2) Is there any chance I can add a touch of personality to the default
message? for example, instead of I'm listening to 23 Seconds by
Cobblestone Jazz. I would like to say I think 23 Seconds by
Cobblestone Jazz is an awesome album. or something like that.
I'd just like to be able to customise the template. And why not set up
a link to Amazon or iTunes or YouTube or last.fm to have a listen to (or
purchase?) the album I'm listening to? I'd like my friends to be able to
hear it, too, is all: spread the love.

Thanks Twitter is the only social network I use - I like my online/real personae to stay fairly separate, not least because of the work that I do and the company I work for. The best thing about it is that it's an amazing real-time search engine, and you pick up stuff you'd never hear about otherwise. To give an example, last weekend I found myself lying on a blanket in the middle of a hidden park in the centre of London with 2,000 other people, most of whom had dressed up to suit the theme, watching a cult film I'd never heard of (to my shame!) and really enjoyed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73Omp11JrVA Now this may not be your thing, but it is mine, and I wouldn't have found it without Twitter.

Re: [slim] Tweet this album/song option?
I personally don't get Twitter. When I've gone there, it struck me as full of who cares kind of material. Does anyone really care what music someone is listening to, or care enough to go through a bulky list of filler to find out? I guess if I did, I would ask. But I don't care, it's about as riveting to me as what did you have for breakfast?. Thinking it was maybe an age or generational thing, I asked my kids - they don't care for it either. I'd love to hear why you find this worthwhile, I could very well be missing something.

Re: [slim] Tweet this album/song option?
I used to think that of Twitter, too. I used to prefer Jaiku, too (it
still has better features), however, it's not the personal tweets that
make Twitter useful, it's the real-time information. Look up what it did
during the Iranian election, or keep an eye on the trending topics for
news that breaks faster than any media (old or new) can publish.
The masturbatory personal messages are not what define it as a useful
tool (even though 85% of my tweets are of that sort).
Head on over to TechCrunch.com and see how many articles are written
about it to get an idea of its importance on the 'net right now.

Re: [slim] Tweet this album/song option?
I don't think anyone gets Twitter at first. It took me a while. I primarily use Twitter to promote my site. People who follow me can get almost real time notification of anything new I post on my site and communicate with me in a different way than they can just visiting my site. I mix in a bit of personal stuff and other things I find interesting or funny because it lets people get to know me better as a multi-dimensional person. Since I started doing the 12 hour LastFM tweets, I haven't lost any followers, and according to twitterfeed people are even clicking on the links. So they must not mind it. For incoming information, Twitter has almost completely replaced RSS for me. -- MeSue SUE 1 Duet | 2 Booms | 1 SB2 | HP MediaSmart Server Find me on 'Last.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/MeSue) | 'Twitter' (http://twitter.com/suechastain) MeSue's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=985 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67520 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Thanks for the URL of the loved tracks RSS. Love this track is in the track info menu (press right from now playing on the current track) in 7.3 or the context menu (+ button) in 7.4. In the WebUI, I think it's in the track info menu that you get when you click a song title. One nice side effect of the new context menu is that it seems to make it a little harder to do accidental loves. Before, if you just hit right arrow twice it would love the track. Now you'd have to hit + and then right arrow.

[slim] Tweet this album/song option?
I read an 'article'
(http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/04/sonos-cr200-controller-turns-sentient-tweets/)
today talking about the Sonos controllers recent feature that allows you
to tweet out what song you are listening to.
I, quite often, get excited by a song/album that I'm listening to, and
end up heading over to Facebook to tell my friends just how awesome it
is (I have more friends on FB than Twitter).
So, I think it's an awesome feature.
Is there any chance of a plugin coming out that allows you to post the
current album or song (I'd prefer album, but I imagine some
people/situations would prefer song) you are listening to Twitter and/or
Facebook? I was thinking there could just be a Share this option in
the Extras menu that allows you to select song/album/artist and service
to share it on. Maybe even personalise the message, but that would start
getting complicated. Maybe there could be a web interface where you
could customise the different templates for Twitter/Facebook and
song/album/artist?
I know I can share all my listening habits over last.fm, but I don't
use their service/have many friends that do, and I'd only want to share
the -creme de la creme-, so to speak.
I think it would also be a cool way for Logitech to promote brand
awareness (and maybe even get into trending topics...?) with all these
squeezebox themed tweets appearing.
Your thoughts?

Re: [slim] Tweet this album/song option?
I use twitterfeed to post my recently played tracks (using the Last.fm RSS feed) - however I have it set up to run every 12 hours, and only one track gets posted each time. Figure that's a reasonable balance between putting up music you like against filling up people's feed with info they don't want or need. A Twitter app was raised when the Facebook app went into beta testing. The response from one of the devs was that it there will probably be a Twitter app at some point in the future, but Facebook was the marketing department's preference (which makes sense imo - even allowing for Twitter's amazing growth in recent months, Facebook is the largest social network). -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)? -Siduhe Loved Tracks radio got the thumbs up.
