Something I'd do once I'd figure how to do applets\plugins\etc: I'd love to see a general social network/pop-up plugin. But I don't want to use it to browse these social networks. I want it to simply do pop-ups as and when things occur. These pop-ups should pop over the current activity which may be the off screenssaver, now playing screen or whatever.
I feel that this alert much better fits with the idea of a touch or sb3. It happens to be a convenient screen near where I'm sitting or listening to music which can be used to remind me of interesting things etc. If I want to browse these things I go to a PC with a nice big screen. E.g. I might be listening to music on the touch, and it will pop up with tweets of my friends every now and then, and also facebook news feed items. This should pop up photos etc on the touch but only text items on the old players. The screensaver model doesn't really work here. I only want to see these things when there is something new. It could also pop-up calendar reminders from on line calendars, emails, etc. And also RSS. Each service added to the plugin should have settings which allow one to decide for that service: - when to pop-up (only when player is off, only when player is on etc.) - how long - audible notification (at least on touch) - repeat older ones - minimum time between alerts -- lrossouw Louis 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/lrossouw) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lrossouw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3416 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81800 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
