For me, the BlogCatalog dashboard is very useful. I just love it!

Stumbleupon doesn't have an API, so you would have to scrape the hell out of it.

That is something an individual site might do, but not ideal for a service.

Interesting, but kind of same old api pulls. I want to see one that says: This blog has had these posts stumbled. Still holding out for that.

Andy, it's better to raise it now. I thought it's also better to clarify that we were in development of the social dashboard far ahead of any Yahoo announcement.

Daniel, from what I can see so far, though I have no idea what MyBlogLog plan to realease in a couple of weeks time, the bar has been set extremely high.

I think we are aiming for next week for our full release. It really depends on the feedback form our members and getting the dashboard to a point we feel comfortable with.

Wow, this is certainly interesting.

Where do you see monetization in this model?
- paid biz intel?
- paid insight and trend reporting
- ad supported?

Any idea when this is going "late beta" or ready to launch?

Tony you guys never get any sleep

On the copycat thing I decided it was better to raise it than have someone else do it.

It is true that they have only announced it 4 days ago, and it is due "in the next couple of weeks".

As I pointed out, there was a need for an overview anyway, and that will continue to be enhanced with useful features.

Daniel

As far as I can see, as I mentioned in an email, you are pulling the data, it is just not appearing.

A perfect example is Nine - he made 2 updates to Twitter about the Dashboard last night.

I am mutual friends with Nine on Blogcatalog (not even sure that is required) but for some reason that data doesn't appear in my timeline.

It is a bug, not a lack of a feature, though this stuff is going to add some server load to both Blogcatalog and Twitter, though you were pulling the Twitter data anyway, it might not have been so frequently as will be required for this to be really useful. You will probably need to pull all the data (if it is updated) every 30 minutes, or have Twitter push the data to you.

Thanks for the feedback andy. Great as always.

What did you mean by "delays in updates"? It would of course be impossible to make 80,000 api calls to grab our member's social data across all their communities every single minute. but we are grabbing api data non-stop.
