FriendFeed plugin

[Vagamente (Max)]

Is there anyone who's thinking about a friendfeed plugin? If not,
anyone would join me?

You probably got all (OK, I can't speak for everyone: "most") of the people reading this to join you in thinking about a FriendFeed plugin. :)

Or maybe a plugin that is capable of multi-posting messages to
twitter, identi.ca, friendfeed etc. would be more exciting?

I would recommend writing a plugin that leverages one of the existing
"multicasting" services, such as ping.fm, rather than doing that work
in the plugin. That way, someone else owns the interfaces to the
various services.

Ping.fm is the only one I have experience with, but others may have suggestions.
There is a C# wrapper here:

The api docs are here:

Another route could be adding dbus support to something like gwibber
that already has support for multiple services. After all, you'll want
to read the items from those services anyway so you're not going to
remove the client. Then this way the plugin work is small and only a
method to post through gwibber to the services already setup.

Personally I really don't like this route as it seems stupid to make the user install gwibber only to use Do. I'm definitely a bigger fan of either utilizing ping.fm, or implementing each service. I had started work on the later but went on vacation and then forgot before I finished.

I've started working on a plugin using Ping.FM api, hopefully I could
get it work soon.

Hi guys, I've finished an initial version of the Ping.Fm plugin which
is at my branch lp:~d6g/do-plugins/PingFM. Or you can download the
binary DLL here <http://p3n9.kilu.de/PingFM.dll>. (There is still some
issue with the Makefile.am so if you wanna compile, you have to use
MonoDevelop, sorry. I think I need some help on the Makefile
stuff. :b)

Currently the plugin supports posting message as microblog, status or
to any specific web service you registered with Ping.FM. The
implementation of blog posting is currently dropped because I wouldn't
feel it is reasonable or practical to write a long post using Do's
current interface.

Welcome to any feedback/suggestion/bur repost.

Enjoy!

P.D.
