notify.me toolbar update & seesmic integration support
So, the notify.me toolbar has been live for a couple of weeks now, and it’s made some waves, some people dig it as evidenced at hyveup.tv and others .. well, let’s just say weren’t too fond of it. Thanks for you input, we’ve listened and we thought we’d share our vision of the tool bar and let you know how to zap the toolbar if you find it to be pesky. Also, read on if you’d like to help get Seesmic desktop integration with notify.me.
The goal of the tool bar was to provide an interface to manage a source’s setting without having to navigate back to the source listing page. So we pulled all the functionality from the source listing page which includes destination routing, key word filtering and the ability to unsubscribe from a source and added it to the toolbar. Once we tested this functionality out, one of our team members wanted a way to share the link they were currently viewing with their friends through their social networks so we integrated ping.fm and the addthis functionality to the toolbar to make sharing a snap. You might have noticed the modular design of the bar, allowing us to add new functionality … if you’ve got ideas on what we can add to make it more useful, let us know on our forums http://getsatisfaction.com/notifyme
If the toolbar is bugging you and just doesn’t feel right, you can disable it from the settings page by visiting http://notify.me/user/account/edit and checking off the enable toolbar option towards the bottom of the page (be sure to click save account settings for it to take effect)
So the folks over at seesmic have a cool cross platform desktop application which you can learn more about at http://desktop.seesmic.com/. We’ve started a dialogue with Loic over at Seesmic to bring notify.me integration to their desktop client and it sounds like they’re interested but they’re pretty slammed for time.
To demonstrate user interest in this feature we figured we’d start a vote on their forum, if you’d like to see notify.me integrated into Seesmic desktop… If you can spare a second and think this is valuable cast a vote here.
Cheers,
Team notify.me
