Pingboard 0.5

Pingboard is a simple Mac OS X Dashboard widget for posting to the Ping.fm social aggregator service.

You can use this to post to Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, FriendFeed, and zillions more.

Here are some key features of "Pingboard":

· It's a Dashboard widget, so it has that going for it
· Allows all types of posting, including custom triggers
· Keeps a message history, which you can edit and re-post in case of error or lack of creativity
· Has both a front and a back, and a previously only theorized third side for error messages
· Is not unnecessarily attractive, to discourage frivolous posting.
· Multiple account support (one per widget instance)

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· Use new system.services API to discover information about services supported by Ping.fm.
· Allow the exclusion of certain services when posting -- click the service icon shown in the list, and that service (e.g., Twitter) will be excluded from receiving the message.

Some Javascript library changes (not end-user visible):
· actually use the Ajax queue to serialize requests if enabled
· PingFMAPI is now an instantiable object (new PingFMAPI())
· A rewrite function can be supplied to transform Ajax requests to e.g. use a proxy or have different arguments. A sample rewriter is supplied: FlexProxyRewriter. This can be useful when trying to use the Javascript library outside of dashboard, where the same-origin limitations prevent direct access to api.ping.fm.
