DISQUS

Paul · 1 year ago

I like this - a lot.

A few suggestions (other commenters: feel free to vote on these):

• The top 1/4 of the add-on is all "other stuff" and not the content you really want to see - any way to minimize this stuff if we want to?
• Default start-up should be 'Friends', not 'Everyone' not a big deal if it saves what you chose, but this resets every-time you close it & re-open it.
• I think we are all now used to seeing the first 2 & last 3 comments and expanding the middle ones if we want (not always cutting off the last bunch)
• The icon, name, and activity could all fit on one line, letting you read the content easier
• Pagerization: it's somewhat annoying having to click through next pages (especially when only 15 entries are shown per page) - you could auto-load the next set when you have reached the end of scrolling or put a higher per-page limit.
• Highlight comments from friends: FF web has this and I find it useful to highlight comments I should read in a long list
• Open links in new tabs

michaeltwofish · 1 year ago

Sandosh, great work! And I second all of Paul's suggestions, though if middle click opened links in new tabs, I would want left click to open in the current window.

sandosh · 1 year ago

Yes, the mouse actions (click, ctrl/option + click) have default actions similar to the firefox web pages

michaeltwofish · 1 year ago

But I want middle click to work as I have it set up, which is to open the link in another tab. Currently it does nothing.

Phil Glockner · 1 year ago

Very cool sidebar app! Much better than anything else out there so far that is external to friendfeed.com. I agree with pretty much everything Paul says here, but still, excellent work!

Toby · 1 year ago

I agree with you, however, everyone has different preferences. I think it needs to add an option menu to allow everyone to make preference changes.

sandosh · 1 year ago

Thanks for your suggestions! I will work on them.

nice work Sandosh!

Woland783 · 1 year ago

this app is simply great! i love it!!!

some suggestions:
1) ADD SEARCH!!!!
2) images on flickr, smugmug and so on should be clickable
3) a page shared on ff with more than one image attached previews only the last image using the on mouse over method
4) add the ability to post something on twitter

in response to Paul:
- i like that everyone is the default view
- "The icon, name, and activity could all fit on one line, letting you read the content easier". I thing that NOW its easier to read because of a wider blue line that separates the posts
I agree with the rest!

thank you again for this! :)

[sorry for my poor english! :D ]

woland783 · 1 year ago

also: please add "liked" and "commented" page!

dd · 1 year ago

sorely needs feature for tracking room topics and adding comments. and i found a bug that is when subscribe to two or more blog, then although i choose just one particular blog icon, but mysocial show all blog contents at once which i don't expect.

nuin · 1 year ago

Hi
You may have forgotten from the development that your application is adding a "Your menuitem" item on Firefox's right click menu. If you click this, it shows a message box with "Hello world" on it. I uninstalled MySocial just to check and the item disappeared.

sandosh · 1 year ago

Let me know what you think :)

marcus · 1 year ago

great app - great job!
also how are you using google app engine?

sandosh · 1 year ago

This site runs on a custom CMS built on Google AppEngine

Dimitry · 1 year ago

Sandosh, great little app! You're going far man =)

sandosh · 1 year ago

Thanks Dimitry!!

MyMesh.com · 1 year ago

Nice meshup... applause.. :-)

michael arrington · 1 year ago

wooohooo!

Stefanos Karagos · 1 year ago

Nice work!
Better integration with Twitter API could make this addon, a killer app.

G · 1 year ago

Does this work on Apple? I tried installing it, but my apple won't recognize it...am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

michaeltwofish · 1 year ago

It's working fine for me on a Mac. Silly question, but are you using Firefox? What happens when you click on the download link above?

vauxhall · 1 year ago

wow! amazing! I don't need twhirl anymore!

Justin Fleming · 1 year ago

It still shows all @replies even when Twitter account is set to only show @replies from people you are following.

joshjenkins · 1 year ago

Reminds me of Posty. (http://spreadingfunkyness.com/posty/)

Very neat.

Joffrey · 1 year ago

Perfect app, a must-have! :)

THE1000LINKS · 1 year ago

Well done, I think it's quite useful.

Toby · 1 year ago

it is a great app. It is very useful, though I wish it has direct comment posting for friendfeed and direct twitter posting. i hope you will consider those features in the future.... it would be awesome!

Paul · 1 year ago

It has direct comment posting for friendfeed (with options to @reply twitter on those)...just click the comment icon and you'll see a textbox. Same for "likes".

Steve · 1 year ago

Doesn't want to install. I'm using Firefox Portable 2.0.0.14

jimdorey · 1 year ago

Wow. Great job sandosh. I want the ability to update Twitter without having to reply to someone though. For a first iteration it looks DAMN good.

jeffisageek · 1 year ago

checking the plugin out. I think it has some potential. will have to see after a few days what my thoughts are.

neofreko · 1 year ago

very neat, big thumb up for this nifty sidebar. you guys/gals rocks!

Neil · 1 year ago

This is an excellent extension; just what I was hoping someone would write!

It has almost all of the functionality from the FriendFeed website except one feature: search.

Woland783 · 1 year ago

search is the greatest feature of ff... sad it isn't here!

Voyagerfan5761 · 1 year ago

Looks interesting. I don't use sidebar apps myself, as my laptop's screen is too small to make them useful; but judging from the other comments here and what I can tell from the screenshot, you've got a pretty good app started! I just hope you act on feedback, as Paul was kind enough to provide above (as an example).

AS · 1 year ago

ЗАЧОТ!!!

Tekla · 1 year ago

Amazing extension. Now using FriendFeed makes even more sense than before:)

sindhu · 1 year ago

is this a new kind of service?

sarahintampa · 1 year ago

Is it supposed to auto-refresh? Because mine doesn't. Would love if that was configurable, too.

Phil Glockner · 1 year ago

It doesn't auto-refresh for me either.

sandosh · 1 year ago

It doesn't in this version. It will be avialable in the next version very soon.

kelce · 1 year ago

thank you for this awesome app. but i've a login problem. i wrote my nickname and remotekey then press 'login' then appears "authentication required" window. i wrote my user and pass and click 'ok' but then it appears again again and again. am i stupid or what? i'll be appreciate if anyone can help. thank you

neofreko · 1 year ago

I can confirm this. "Remember me" checkbox is not checkable :(. And no credential info was recorded :(

Edo · 1 year ago

I have the same problem :-(

Todd · 1 year ago

this seems to be a bit of a ripoff of Flock browser. How is it different?

Martin Jamieson · 1 year ago

Am I the only one who has some major bugs if I open more than one firefox window?

In the second window I get a blank mysocial 24x7 sidebar panel, all my firefox menu bookmarks disapear and it resets my home page.

Apart from that it's cool, but I usually have 2-3 firefox windows open (all with multiple tabs obviously) it would be nice to at least disable it in the other windows.

sandosh · 1 year ago

What is your setup? Browser version/OS ?

Martin Jamieson · 1 year ago

Firefox 3b5

Martin Jamieson · 1 year ago

Forgot to mention OS, Vista.

An imporovement I'd like to see - ability to expand/collapse each item. If there are a lot of comments etc. for one item, it can take up the majority of the window, wny not give us the ability to collapse items to one line so more can fit on the screen?

FM · 1 year ago

I absolutely love, love, LOVE this app. One thing that would make it that much better for me is if it would auto-refresh (and +2 points if I was actually able to adjust the auto-refresh rate). Otherwise, great job on this!

Neil · 1 year ago

I've used it for a few days now. It's really good - but here are a couple of issues.

1. Comments posted to FriendFeed are truncated.

2. Many people add RSS feeds from sources other than "Blog" under the "Blog" category. However, in the extension, all of these are displayed as "Blog" and all contain the same posts.
This is more the fault of FriendFeed for forcing us to use the "Blog" category for "other RSS".

Neil · 1 year ago

And just one more issue:

When Firefox 3b5 opens a popup window, the following alert is displayed:

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIScrollBoxObject.ensureElementIsVisible]" :::nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://ffbar/content/scripts/ffbar.js :: anonymous :: line :::1334" data: no]

The alert disappears if mysocial is disabled.

Steve · 1 year ago

I am experiencing a similar issue in the release build of firefox 3. otherwise, i am enjoying the sidebar greatly. nice work sandosh.

natadd · 1 year ago

Wow, thats a cool thing! Downloading to try it out. You should definetly integrate Facebook updates as well!

svartling · 1 year ago

Excellent Firefox extension.

Nathan Howell · 1 year ago

Very nice tool. One option I'd like to request is the ability to turn off the popup notifications. Also, I see a lot of people requesting auto-refresh. I'm not really sure I'd *want* it, so if you add it, I hope you make it optional. Last thing, I get the same exception error message mentioned by Neil in another comment. I'm running FF3b5 on Linux.

yannleroux · 1 year ago

S'il n'y a qu'un seul addon a installer sur Firefox, c'est celui la : MySocial24/7. http://mysocial247.com/

Ben Borges · 1 year ago

Nice extension, thanks !

Thijs · 1 year ago

Great stuff!

MikePearce · 1 year ago

Hey man, great job. This is a really useful app! I've got a couple of suggestions of features I'd like:
- Can the share not actuall requires a URL or image? I just want to post messages without that.
- Clickable flickr etc thumbnailes

pansapiens · 1 year ago

The sidebar is great, it's almost always open in my Firefox.

Two feature requests:

* Middle click to open links in a new tab (+1 to michaeltwofish's vote)
* Deal with FriendFeed "Rooms". You could do this just like the "All Friends" dropdown list, just add an equivalent for "Rooms" you are subscribed to.

John Burton · 1 year ago

Doesn't work with FF3

ppmartin · 1 year ago

Actually, it does...

dd · 1 year ago

auto-refreshing. but one simple though important thing is when one write comments that auto-refreshing don't kill writing process.

Danny · 1 year ago

it doesn't auto refresh and how do I make a new post? I tried the +share button but its sharing the website where I am in. I want to be able to make a new post. thx and very cool app you have here.

bpowell · 1 year ago

Love this... Keep up the great work Sandosh

sandosh · 1 year ago

Thanks, brandon.

FitzAZ · 1 year ago

Have you checked out the Flock browser? Very cool embedded social media

Bill · 1 year ago

When choose to see all of my posts (Me>Everything), the window is blank. But if I select a specific service (Me>Friendfeed), stuff shows up.

nick · 1 year ago

Nice it looks a lot like the yoono sidebar , with maybe a little less applications.

livejamie · 1 year ago

It'd be a lot nicer if it defaulted to my friends view, rather than the public view.

dep · 1 year ago

this is sweet! thanks!

Edo · 1 year ago

Can you made it compatible with FF 3.0.1 ?

robertscanlon · 1 year ago

Same for me - looking for the add-on to be upgraded to work with FF 3.0.1 (it worked fine with previous V3, but FF is saying it is not compatible with 3.0.1)

dep · 1 year ago

If someone favorites a song on Pandora, the thumbnail for the album is HUGE and blows out the width of the sidebar, making me scroll horizontally to read everything.

Dane Morgan · 1 year ago

Will there be a 3.0.1 compatible release soon?

RealSlogans.com · 1 year ago

Firefox 3.0.1
Does not work...

Edo · 1 year ago

THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION, IT'S A WORKAROUND !!!

If you want to use the version 0.5 with FF 3.0.1 you must go in about:config adn set/create the oprion extensions.checkCompatibility to false

WARNING READ CAREFULLY http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.checkCompa...

ChaCha Fance · 1 year ago

PLEASE upgrade this for the newest version of Firefox!

laogao · 1 year ago

Firefox has been updated to 3.0.1. I wonder when will a compatible version of MySocial 24x7 be avaiable..

dep · 1 year ago

Seems like a dead project at this point.

Заработать в интернете · 1 year ago

Thank you very much for a quality product!

alex · 1 year ago

why is it not already available for Firefox 3.0.1?

Foomandoonian · 1 year ago

This is tragic! I just discovered this add-on today, and it works brilliantly on FF2 at work. I love the concept of Friend Feed, but I have never fount a way to make it a part of my routine like Twitter has become. This app could do it, but I've just discovered (as have the others here) that it doesn't work on Firefox 3.

Can anyone pick up this project? It seems like a real winner to me...

darker me · 1 year ago

Sorry, I refuse to use sidebars!

Mikey · 1 year ago

Installed on Mac Pro running Firefox 2.0.0.16 - Browser now crashes on launch every time. Killing prefs etc made no difference - Gave up in the end, deleted Firefox & have gone back to Safari

I read about the your extension but I'm afraid that it doesn't work on my Flock 2.0 browser. Will you update the software? Cheers from Portugal.

michelle · 1 year ago

Looks like it is not compatible with Firefox 3.0.4

Miren · 11 months ago

Same here, not able to install in Firefox 3.0.4. Any intention to update the plugin? Looks really great...

mekayama · 11 months ago

I want to use this add-on.
But,Firefox 3.0.4 can't use this.
Please Upgrade!

J · 8 months ago

It's a bit like earlier versions of "SimilarWeb"... It resizes my sidebar and every time after I use it and access my bookmarks, history or RSS, I need to resize the width of the sidebar... which is very annoying.

Otherwise, it's pretty good.

J · 8 months ago

OK, I found a solution... I resize MySocial to the same width as other sidebars and things look good.

Pepperfire · 6 months ago

Not compatible with Firefox 3.0.10 :( How unfortunate. I was looking forward to installing this.

vetal4eg · 3 months ago

Not support by FF 3.5
