Testing Kwippy's GoogleTalk integration: can I send messages?

by itafroma from GTalk (6 months, 1 week ago) |

Comments(10):

You should get a notification of this comment.

commented by bwana, 6 months, 1 week ago

Yeah, that's pretty nice. Wish it would just send me your comment instead of a link.

commented by itafroma, 6 months, 1 week ago

I understand why they don't. The idea of keeping the thread context would be important, and confusing if it wasn't there.

commented by robdiana, 6 months, 1 week ago

Agreed

commented by bwana, 6 months, 1 week ago

I got a notification that you sent me a private message, Bwana, but the link it sent me didn't retrieve it (just gave me your profile page). Where do you pick up private messages?

commented by itafroma, 6 months, 1 week ago

I have no idea. That was my first private message

@itafrome, Me too. re; http://www.kwippy.com/czar/kwips/2008/jun/24/144828/

hey guys !!
robdian you are spot on and we've been going over this problem again and again.
other than the context issue there is a problem of coming up with a simple way to reply via IM (coz once you start getting comments over IM, you'd want to reply too :P ) , one way is to reply using a unique hash for a kwip but then am not sure if everyone esp the ones who are new to microblogging would get it and use it..
thoughts ?

Hey Mayank, if you provided a simple directive to someone on each message, it shouldn't be too bad. Something like "Mayank responded to your thread, 'Hey guys !! <insert rest of comment here>" To respond, reply with #3321 followed by your comment or go to http://www.kwippy.com/itafroma/kwips/2008/jul/05/174946/ . One thing to note is even with Twitter when IM was working, IM was used by a small portion of power users. Most new people are going to stick to the web interface, anyway.

ya, that's precisely what I was thinking of.
This thing is quite high on the feature list and will do something about it soon :)
