Who would like to help us to optimize new upcoming Tumblr support? We're looking for testers.
Hello everybody
Hello everybody, it is amazing to see so many people want to use Friends+Me. I am afraid we got into a trouble. There is so many new users and so fast that Friends+Me have run out of Google+ API daily limit. I've sent request to increase that limit almost 9 days ago and yesterday twice, but still no answer. If you know someone from Google who can speed up processing of our quota request, it would be most appreciate if you contact them. Again I am very sorry for the inconvenience and I hope you'll give Friends+Me another try after quota limit problem will be solved. Thank you all. PS. To process all new users (with current Google+ API daily limit) we had to increase interval between reposts to 30 minutes. This way the service will not simply stop, but will perform it's function (only a little slower).

ReplyDeleteHi Mark Rivera can't find your F+M account. What email have you used to sign up?
ReplyDeleteIf you still need testers, let me know.
ReplyDeleteMe, please!
ReplyDeleteAlexandre Trotta Friends+Me already does that.
ReplyDeleteRick Hansen visit http://friendsplus.me and hit the "Get started" button.
ReplyDeleteKim Beasley Mitch Wagner Luis Roca I have enabled Tumblr support for your accounts. Visit your dashboard, add a new Tumblr destination account and give it a ride.
I'd love to test out Tumblr support if you're still looking for testers! (^_^)
ReplyDeleteChris Payne I have enabled Tumblr support for your account. Give it a try.
ReplyDeleteAlexandre Trotta so you want a Google+ posts published to a non-public circle to be reposted to a specific Facebook friend? Do I understand you correctly?
Thanks Friends+Me I have connected & I will let you know how it goes.
ReplyDeleteJust shared a post that reshared to Tumblr:http://kimbeasley.tumblr.com/post/57164680200/fbi-can-remotely-activate-android-smartphone-and-laptop
ReplyDeleteKim Beasley nice! I will appreciate every thought you may have on format of Tumblr reposts. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteFriends+Me When I click on the link in the title, it takes me to the article instead of to the post. Is there a setting that I need to change. Or is it like this on all of the reshares?
ReplyDeleteKim Beasley it is like this for all reshares. I can make it work the same way as Facebook repost. And add option "Always link back to the original Google+ activity" so the link will go to shared content or to the original Google+ post.
ReplyDeleteFriends+Me Excellent! Thanks! I'm on it!
ReplyDeleteWish I'd seen this before I just posted a link to G+. Heh.
And I just set it up. It took less than a minute. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteAnd I've already found a bug for you -- so today is a productive day:
ReplyDeleteWhen posting a text post with no links to Google+, the post comes over on Tumblr with the title "Google+" See here: http://mitchwagner.tumblr.com/post/57173939775/google
Mitch Wagner well that was intentional, but I'll leave it blank instead.
ReplyDeleteFriends+Me A better option I think. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMitch Wagner and fixed, you can give it another try.
ReplyDeleteFriends+Me I will soon.
ReplyDeleteI notice when posting a link, it appears on Tumblr as follows:
- Original headline
- My text
- brief horizontal line
- The original blurb.
That was surprising. I'm not sure if it's a bug or a feature.
Mitch Wagner well that is a feature. I was trying to get to Tumblr post as much information as possible.
ReplyDeleteFriends+Me I'd prefer it just reproduce my post, without the original blurb, which Google+ does not include. I'm concerned about confusing Tumblr readers.
ReplyDeleteThis guy
ReplyDeleteFriends+Me One of my Tumblr posts repeated the text of my Google+ post twice: http://mitchwagner.tumblr.com/post/57270597991/the-stephen-king-family-is-an-american-literary
ReplyDeleteMitch Wagner I am on it.
ReplyDeleteMathew McKelvey I've enabled Tumblr support for your account.
Mitch Wagner I have removed "the original blurb" from repost. We could make it configurable in the future because I feel it just fits well to blog posts. The repeated text is fixed.
ReplyDeleteFriends+Me Thanks! Great job as always!
ReplyDeleteAlexandre Trotta F+M will support reposts to Facebook Groups soon, but not reposts to specific Facebook Friends.
ReplyDeleteThis seems to be working quite well. Thanks for adding this feature.
ReplyDeleteMitch Wagner awesome!
ReplyDeleteDu Sponda Tumblr support is pretty stable right now so we'll make it available to all users soon.
Alexandre Trotta we believe "soon" is until the end of this month and repost FB Groups will be soon also ;)
ReplyDeleteLuis Roca interesting idea, we'll check that.
Luis Roca hashtags are now added as tags to all Tumblr reposts. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSo what do you think? Is there something about Tumblr reposts we can improve, fix or change?
ReplyDeleteMark Rivera Kim Beasley Mitch Wagner Luis Roca
Friends+Me I think it's good to go.
ReplyDeleteFriends+Me Luis Roca suggests a brilliant feature: Support for Markdown-style links in Tumblr syndication.
ReplyDeletePost a link to G+ using Markdown style, and it converts to a true hyperlink on Tumblr.
This would support both inline and reference links.
Also, paragraphs preceded by a ">" on Google+ would get converted to blockquotes on Tumblr.
Luis Roca Are there any other Markdown features that should be converted to HTML in Tumblr? G+ handles bold and italics differently than Markdown does, so F+M would have to respect the G+ style there.
I'd really love to see this kind of Markdown supported by F+M.
Luis Roca I don't have much use for lists, myself. On the occasion I do use them, I'm fine creating them manually.
ReplyDeleteMitch Wagner Luis Roca that sounds like an interesting idea, but technically a bit complicated.
ReplyDeleteDu Sponda Tumblr support is enabled for your account, give it a try!
Friends+Me I'm curious: Why complicated? I should think it would be fairly simple. You translate +mentions to live links on Tumblr -- which I love -- I'd think this would be simpler. What am I missing?
ReplyDeleteLuis Roca Agreed. Possibly I should have been more clear about that.
ReplyDeleteMitch Wagner Luis Roca Du Sponda I gave it a second thought and it wouldn't be technically that hard to accomplish. I'll add this feature to roadmap as a low priority task.
ReplyDeleteFriends+Me Thanks!
