As we continue to crank along on some back end changes to make the Socialthing! experience even better, we decided to drop a few features that everyone out there can actually play with. So without further ado:

Ping.fm
We added Ping.fm support so that you can post to your Ping.fm account (and all the accounts you have it configured with) right from the Socialthing! posting interface. Check out their blog post about it Here. If you don’t have an invite to Ping.fm, you can sign up there with the invite code, “socialthing”.

Color Coating
In an effort to make Socialthing! easier to read and digest, we have added the ability to change the color of the bar in which your friends’ names appear. Just click on the color swatch icon, pick a color, and voila!

Contact Management
Ah, the return of old features killed off by 2.0. One thing that was popular in the previous release was the ability to rename contacts, and thus, combine their various social media accounts into one within the Socialthing! interface. We quickly realized, however, that the interface for doing this was very poor…so we spent some time on revising it, and eventually came up with something much better.

While contacts that are already a part of Socialthing! will be combined for you, other contacts without a Socialthing! account can be managed by clicking the little arrow at the far right corner of their title bar. From there, you can click “Manage Contact” and then away you go!

Going forward, we plan to continue to release more features, and more importantly, services. We have been working hard on the back end to be able to support more services, as well as developing the ability to integrate many services quickly. We hope you like these features and as always, let us know what you think about them either by leaving a comment here, or by commenting over at our Satisfaction page.
