Re: Amazon’s Universal Wish List

Sure. I'm not sure what the Pick List roadmap looks like for Y! Shopping, but currently most of the links there are broken, which makes me think its not being supported long-term. If it is, then absolutely, providing a means to incorporate a user's diverse set of shopping desires would be great.

What about bookmarking tool for Yahoo! Shopping? Should we add one?

Hmmm.... sorry, I wish I did, but don't have a clue. You may want to reach out to Mike (from Adobe) over at http://www.mikechambers.com...

If you find out, please feel free to post back here, in case others are stuck, too.

I tried setting the path initial, this didn't work, even though I know I set the path correctly. So I thought I would trouble shoot, and just navigate to the /bin from the Terminal. Once I was in the /bin, I "ls -al" to make sure adl and adt were in the directory. Once confirmed, I typed adt... It says the command is not found, so I tried adl, it also said the command was not found. Do you have any idea what my issue could be? I do have the all of the directories included in the download in the same directory as /bin.

Great article, with some intriguing idea! I just discovered your Blog - coming over from the Yahoo Dev Blog and will be sure to subscribe to your RSS feed right now. I'm a new Mac/iPhone convert going on about 12 months now.

Totally agree. Widgets for an internet-enabled TV are the next great frontier which we've already seen in the working prototype of Yahoo's widgets that were on display at the recent Intel Developer's Forum.

Thanks for your list. I know When I first got my Mac, your list of software made me life a lot easier

Thank you! Been Googling for hours trying to find out how to do this! Just a note to avoid confusion that you have to replace the path 'airsdk', with the path where you have the air SDK installed.

yeah I like this feature... in fact it's the only way to add MP3 albums from Amazon to your wish list. I like to do that to keep track of what I might want to get in the future.

Glad to hear the workaround was helpful. You know, I'm not really sure about the statistics off the top of my head. I've been collecting statistics (voluntary from users), but have not compiled them and evaluated them in quite a while. Maybe it's time to do so once again.

Last time I looked, I just measured popularity of systems, and at that time it was confirmed for me that WordPress was far and away the most popular among my users.

Keep an eye out for updates, we've got a number of new features that we want to get in the iPhone app. Some of these require changes to the XML-RPC APIs to make them work, which we are actively engaged in.

@kentbrew: Amen. Looks like comment support is coming in 1.2, but the badge on the app's Home screen icon is even nicer.

Better yet (at least for people like me using Disqus to manage blog comments), a Disqus app (or Intense Debate app) alone would be great. I'd use that rather extensively.

@Daniel: Funny you mention that... I was just on your site, reading up, and trying the suggestion you posted in your forums: editing the date on server-side Drafts to be waaay in the future.

Turns out, this little trick also works for the iPhone app! Just tried it out, and edited a Draft (which remained in Draft status) from the server on the iPhone. Very cool.

And, by the way, MarsEdit is very impressive. A number of fellow Yahoo! folks use it and have spoken highly of it. I purchased ecto some time back (before you acquired ME from Ranchero), but have downloaded MarsEdit a couple times to see where things are at there... particularly in regards to remote server editing. From what I've seen, I think I'd now choose MarsEdit. (Hint, hint, to anyone reading.)

Just out of curiosity, what percentage of MarsEdit users 1) have more than 1 blog setup, and 2) have different blogging platforms configured? (In other words, do you see a fair number of folks with Blogger, Movable Type, *and* WordPress blogs all configured within the same instance of the MarsEdit app?)

Anyway, thanks for the note here, and keep up the great work on developing Mac apps.

It'd be completely awesome if WP for the iPhone could show the number of comments left to approve for your blog with a tiny red number on the icon, like unread messages in Mail.

Re: Wordpress for iPhone released

Daniel Jalkut — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 19:05:08 -0000

With MarsEdit at least, you can set the "Post Status" of a post (from the options panel). If you set it to Draft, it will be sent to WordPress as a "server draft" (not local). Then, if you refresh from another client it shows up in the posts list, can be edited, and resubmitted.

I haven't even watched the clips ... but, then again, I don't think I need to. Your wonderfully insightful description of the events, along with not just one, but two ordered lists ... well, what can I say Laaker. A triumph.
