FMyLife.com App [Request]

Ok. http://www.fmylife.com is absolutely hilarious. It is a site of things that have happened to people. It is a lot like twitter, they are small messages you post about crappy things that happened to you and people can vote either "Yes your life is f***ed" or "You had that one coming". I read it daily just for laughs and they have an API available to developers in the form of an XML feed to retrieve them. You can also have full control to log into your account and post another great FMyLife story thru the API. This would be great to be able to post them on the go straight from your Android mobile. Lol please check out this site and if a capable dev wants to give it a go I can set you up with the info. Thanks all, enjoy reading about peoples crappy lives!

That would be great if there was an app of that site

I had never heard of that site before.. but it's effing hilarious. RSS'd.

I just use http://iphone.fmylife.com

This is the greatest website EVER! Haha if you go twitter, just follow them. I just added them so no need for an extra app

you're in the wrong forum buddy. This app is for android, not palm.

There is a 1x4 widget available for Android 1.5 (cupcake) users.
http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.mlst.fmlwidget
or search "fml widget" in market

there's a application in the market,
search for "FML" in the market, works amazing.

Bloo Facebook App

Bloo
Best mobile fb app I've ever used. Worth 1.50!

Best FB app. However no inbox access makes me a lil Also the notifications seems to be broken, no way to clear them, every time i open Bloo it shows the same notifications and i hate going to the browser to clear them, beats the purpose, plus m.facebook got a facelift recently. I will keep the app waiting on more development/improvements.

Just noticed the notification issue.
I'm sure that's an easy fix.

Just noticed the notification issue.
I'm sure that's an easy fix.

righ tnow im testing both babbler and bloo. lets see wich one i stick to. babbler has inbox so its winning at the moment. Bloo has a great UI though

He's just posted an updated version to the market fixing wall posting and tweaking notifications.
Pretty good start all round, and finally I've been able to get shot of FBook..
No error on the Notifications now.

Review for Bloo on AndroidCommunity.com
http://androidcommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?p=217452

So far Bloo has won. minus the errors it's got it's still got the best UI of it or Babbler. Not to mention Babbler is having a TON of force close issues for me and just all in all the UI on it is crap. There is a pic upload issue with 1.1.0 but the dev knows about it and is working on it (bloo that is not babbler)

Not a bad app thats only been out a day.

Thats why I think this app will be promising, it hasnt even been out for a day and he has released an update. There are some features missing, but IMO it was definitely worth the $1.50.

Good to hear it's getting positive reviews, I will definately have to buy! Ever since fbook I haven't bothered much with any facebook app.

I just came across this wonderful app that provides a native facebook client for android.
Tha app has been out for just 2 days and already is receiving great support from its developer with constant updates as new features are implemented and bugs are ironed out.
Although its a paid app the developer has been kind enough to provide an alternative method of purchasing the app to those that don't have access to google's paid market through slideme.org.
The app costs $1.49 and I can say its well worth every penny. I have been using it since morning with no problems what so ever.
The developer its quite active and promises new features with future releases. For more details refer to his blog: http://fbandroid.wordpress.com/
I believe we should support such developers that put a lot of effort in providing android with such great apps.

You are the dev!
Anyways, nice work and thanks for creating such a wonderful app.
I do suggest more though such as
- Being able to view your messages/reply.
- Being able to "poke" your friends.
- Etc.

hehehe no actually I'm not. Its just a coincidence. Actually Dimitris is a common name in Greece.

There is already a thread opened for Bloo.

Is there an app that....

On the Iphone there is an app that allows you to see other iphone users in your area and chat with them is there such an app on android ?
Stephen Fry had it on his iphone when he was on topgear a few months back. I am looking for something similar but not focused on a particualr sex.

There's one thats called gfinder or something similar. I'll try and find the exact name unless someone else can chime in.

When I first went into the t-mobile store to check out the g1, they showed me something similiar to what you are asking but the downfall was that other g1 users had to opt in to use it. For some reason I thought it was part of the original cupcake software

Now that I checked, it is right in google maps, called latitude

latitude
Does latitude have general people on it or do you have to add friends before you can use it ???

It's friends only.

You have to add friends but the gfinder or gfindster just see's everyone, but of course they would have to have the app installed. I used it a long time ago and didn't think much of it. While looking that up I saw another app called loopt that looks like the same thing, I could be wrong tho.

Latitude works for everybody. Not just G1 users. It uses your Gmail account to send request to other people who have to accept you and allow you to see where they are at and chat and stuff. Works nicely, but you have to know their e-mail address to get them added.
So, no you can not find random people with G1's to connect with. I don't know if there is an app that will allow that, but Latitude will not.

I believe you have to opt in to use it, general people on there and since it requires your gps to use, I don't think that you will find any one using except for the most basic users that are unaware that turning off the gps saves you some serious battery life

Aight I just looked it up and its call GFindster PREMIUM but they also have a lite version.

Hmmm, seems like the salesman at t-mobile gave me the wrong info then but since I never used it, I was baseing my info on inacurate info, sorry

No your right cause they was pushing the whole latitude thing. But GFindster is just a seperate app that looks up anyone without having them listed as friends.

thankyou
Thankyou you all for your help I will check out the gfindster app and see how it goes.

you should also check out buddymob
shows where all users are on a map around you and you can click on their little dot (pink for women, blue for guys) and it will show you their profile without having to be their friend

Facebook 1.1

I have running the Facebook 1.1 app that is on the droid, on my motorola cliq, because someone uploaded it. It is only showing 1.0 in the market right now, anyway is there anyway anyone can fix the notifications tab, so we can reply to our notifications with-in the app itself, instead of having to use the browser? I hate going to the browser just to respond to a notification such as someone commenting on my status, etc....or I have to search for it, in the app just to respond, iphone gets all the attention! If you can fix this, and upload it again, I would appreciate it.

Wowzers!

Dude you have a Moto Cliq use THE HAPPENINGS APK it allows you to respond to that stuff and comment on other status why in the world would you need the droid facebook.apk anyways on the cliq it sounds like your not using your cliq the way it was intended

I love the sarcasm, no really I do.
To the poster of this thread,
Please take the time to learn how an application is developed, what source code is, what an .apk file is, and then decide if this "request" you made is even remotely feasible. I'm usually not one to flame another but my goodness, the noobness you exert is almost blinding.

Duplicate post.

Messaging accounts in 1

I have been asked to find a messaging app that will allow you to view all accounts in the same inbox. If you have used a blackberry this is where the request comes from. Just an app that combines sms,mms, email under a master inbox instead of going to each account to check and read.
Anyone seen an app like this?

First off, It's WP7(Windows Phone 7). Second, The person asked about a WP7 app in the WP7 themes and Apps thread and your responding with an old WM app. If you want nothing to do with WP7 that's your choice, but don't troll the WP7 threads with BS. You're a Senior Member, act like it.

Yup, I clicked on this forum by accident and didn't realize it was WP7. And no, I don't particularly prefer WP7 - so I generally stay out of here! I don't have time to "troll" threads in which I don't have an interest.
Thanks for the update on the naming...
EDIT: Having thought about it a bit, I'm wondering why you thought it was anything other than an attempt to help someone. I don't see that your response (to which I had to respond) have added anything other than words to this topic. I generally ignore any posts that I don't think are relevant for this very reason. It has been my experience that if a person is really a troll they will simply feed off your comment, and if not, they will be offended.

So you ignored the writing on the first link you clicked, Ignored the writing on the second link you clicked. Then you ignored the writing on the final link leading to this page? Yeah. Ok. Only Homer Simpson does that. lol It was an attempt to help someone, but totally misguided. After the op told you he was looking for a WP7 app, you shouldn't have typed anything else. I may be confused, but it seemed as if you were trolling if I use your logic as well.
To the op: there isn't anything for that app-wise yet, but I think you could create a new gmail account and combine all the other emails accounts into that gmail for the same purpose output. Hope this helps and good luck.

I don't think gmail nor any other web based mail allows you to setup access to other web based mail accounts. Desktop Outlook...but not web-based email.

I'm a tech at a store front sprint location. I've seen other accounts merged with gmail before. I haven't done it personally, but when assisting customer's with their accounts I've seen the option.
