Duck Duck Blog: Duck Duck Go Karma Widget

  • cgranade · 11 months ago
    Any plans to add a FriendFeed item to show the number of subscriptions?
  • duckduckgo · 11 months ago
    Absolutely, as soon as they add that ability it to their API :)
  • Mike Chelen · 6 months ago
    any news, or still waiting on FriendFeed API improvements?

    Uh, github needs an icon. Otherwise, you can't tell that it's github in the list.
  • duckduckgo · 1 year ago
    Andy, GitHub has an icon (that comes directly from github). Perhaps for some reason it isn't displaying for you. Browser type? Try refreshing the page.

    Interesting
  • jlmarkwell · 1 year ago
    How about bringing in Upcoming.org events and friends?
  • duckduckgo · 1 year ago
    I'm not seeing a public event or friend count. Are you?
  • Andrew · 1 year ago
    How about adding cherrypeel.com?
  • duckduckgo · 1 year ago
    Andrew, cherrypeel looks interesting. If we add it, will you let your users know?

    I'd love to put this widget on my site, but it's not reporting my GitHub followers correctly. My GitHub username is qrush. http://github.com/qrush

    If this is fixed, count me in! :) Thanks.
  • duckduckgo · 1 year ago
    Fixed!

    what about blogspot?
  • duckduckgo · 9 months ago
    Mark, what is the karma equivalent on blogspot? We've looked at your blog but don't see anything related except for Google Friend Connect--is that what you're talking about?
  • Mike Chelen · 6 months ago
    The Blogger followers are done through Google Friend Connect

    This is really cool, but I can't get it to show my myspace friend count. =/
  • duckduckgo · 9 months ago
    Erika, the problem is your myspace page is set to private so we can't see your count :(
  • Erika K. · 9 months ago
    Oh, okay. Thanks for explaining. =]
    Now I just gotta decide if it's worth changing that so it'll show on a counter or not.
    Thanks though.

    Kitty, unfortunately it doesn't look like it is possible: http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bm...

    Are there any plans for Facebook?
  • duckduckgo · 8 months ago
    We'd love to add Facebook but there is not currently any way to publicly get the FB friend count (at least not that we know of).
  • mokshjuneja · 7 months ago
    pretty cool.. just got it embedded on my blog... lets see if this helps in building the social media karma??
  • Jerod Santo · 6 months ago
    Is there any way to force stats updates? Seems like my GitHub count hasn't been updated in awhile.
  • Gabriel Weinberg · 6 months ago
    Stats get updated once a day, but there was a problem with GitHub that is now fixed. Thanks for letting us know!
  • Mike Chelen · 6 months ago
    Could support be added for Laconica sites? This is the software Identica uses.
  • Mike Chelen · 6 months ago
    More services that would be nice if possible: Slideshare, Diigo, Last.fm, Ustream, Blip.fm, Tumblr, Flickr
  • Dee · 5 months ago
    This is great! Only thing I would change is to let StumbleUpon users get their favorites tracked rather than their fans. Still love it though! Sent a shoutback and some link love on my blog.
  • Gabriel Weinberg · 5 months ago
    Yeah, people don't seem to use fans that much--is that a correct characterization?
  • Dee · 5 months ago
    Not going to claim to speak for everyone, but I believe that's correct. StumbleUpon is my browser's home page, and I tend to notice only a couple of things -- (1) the visitors that have checked out your list of favorites and (2) the number of favorites and reviews. I don't really see the point of fans. You can visit their favorites and make those pages your favorites, too, but it certainly doesn't work on the same principle as, say, Twitter follows or Linked-In connections.

    Do you think tracking SU favorites or visitors is a likely change to be made?
  • Gabriel Weinberg · 5 months ago
    This change has been made. I suppose this explains why stumbleupon hasn't been that used a service on the Karma widget. I hope it will be more now!
  • Dee · 5 months ago
    Okay. I made a new widget with my StumbleUpon username. It shows a count of 0 favorites. Does SU work like the other services? Does it take a day for it to show the correct number? (Not sure. I recall Twitter and Linked-In giving me the correct numbers from the jump.)
  • Gabriel Weinberg · 5 months ago
    Is your username Dee? I was testing with that one and it got cached as 0 (for a day). Yeah, usually it works immediately.
  • Dee · 5 months ago
    Un-uh, it's DBlackthorne. I just tried it again and it showed up as 0 favorites.
  • Gabriel Weinberg · 5 months ago
    Found the bug--compiled regex where it shouldn't of been. All better?
  • Dee · 5 months ago
    Yesh! Thank you!
  • varsayilanassume · 4 months ago
    Very well, thanks a lot for your work
