Automatic Updates Are Back!

I didn't really try to figure out what was wrong. Instead, I thought this would be a good time to put in some actual work: kaPlurk! now uses the official Plurk API.

Automatic Updates Are Down

Dani reported that she isn't seeing any updates. I did a quick check, and there is indeed a problem with the auto-updates.

I'll see what I can do, ASAP.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Automatic Karma Update Can Now Post Private Plurks

For you guys who have access to the Automatic Karma Update feature, you can now set messages that are only visible to yourself.



Thank @zeldAIS for letting me know that it's a feature that somebody actually wants. I didn't know why I didn't do this sooner.

I'm having some problems with the Friends Only option, so if you really need that, bug me about it. =p

UPDATE (2011-03-14 01:42 AM): I set all existing auto-karma updates to private. No more spammy timelines!

SMS Gateway Indefinitely Down

As I mentioned before, the SMS gateway I set-up is only temporary.

I apologize to those who have been using the service regularly, especially because I haven't found a way to replace it yet.

Access To Automatic Karma Update Feature Restored

The Automatic Update checkbox in Account Settings was hidden for a couple of weeks already.

Access to the Automatic Update Feature (and management of Message Pool messages) was recently restored to those who had it before.

Plurk Announces Their API Service

FINALLY!

See their landing page here.

Automatic Updates No Longer Public

As of a couple of days ago, the Automatic Updates feature will only be available to a select few.

Again, the reason for this is that it kinda got spammy, when a handful of people in your timeline use the feature. I don't regret having implemented it in the first place -- I just haven't thought of how to make it less annoying. Got ideas? Post them in our GetSatisfaction page!
