Ideas from Andrey

cute app!
thanks
lots of things I wanted to add/change, but I’m glad to have something out there
yea
update the listous twitter profile with info and a link
so one problem, can’t dm listous unless listous is following me back
so you might need to autofollow people
yeah I know
can I autofollow in twitter settings or do I have write a script for that?
there’s no setting, but there’s existing bots out there if you don’t want to write it
also dont see how one would list their list..
oh, via the listous.com thing, ok
i would cut out the url from /lists/user/foo to /foo
you mean how would you send around a url?
yeah will do
i expected there would be some sort of twitter command to list
i like the posterous feel of it
how there’s no explicit account creation
yeah thanks. that was a big thing.
i don’t get what you mean about the twitter command to list. can you give me an example?
ok so here’s the scenario
i see a bunch of people listous things so i figure i'd try it do i get any feedback of where i can access the list? yeah that's a good point id. read it *ie. also i'd consider adding a multiword syntax for list names say i want to make a "spain trip" list D listous Spain Trip bring passport that would screw up i suggest something like D listous (Spain Trip) bring passport Yeah maybe. I was thinking I could trust the user to use an underscore or something, but that's a good iea idea good enough for now, but nice to have little hidden-ish advanced features like that also maybe some way to email your list maybe D listous email (Spain Trip) shazowgmail.com
you mean that would send the whole list to your e-mail? yeah that’s a cool idea. I want to support RSS feeds and JSON so that you could build apps on top of the list too
perfect
more realistic scenario is you sending the list to other people
than yourself
yeah something like D listous send books @shazow @hyfen
found an auto-follow bot. not sure if it’s retroactive. can you try unfollowing listous and then following again?
Andrey Petrov has gone offline.
Andrey Petrov is now online.
err sorry my macbook imploded
not really twitter-sending lists, but rather emailing lists is important (for people who dont have twitter, or just dont care)
sec, gonna refollow
also, link to twitter.com/listous on your listous docs page
yeah good call
and vice versa

doesnt look like autofollow is working, at least for me
yeah I noticed. apparently the bot I’m using runs every 2 hours
should be really easy to make own script do that
2:54 AM
followed me now, not sure if it was the script
