SocialMail Update 12Jan
by Daniel on Jan.12, 2010, under SocialMail
It’s been a little quite since my last post, and to be honest not much has changed on the SocialMail front.
After a bit of reflection I’ve decided to rewrite/reformat the code before adding any more functionality, this has to be done before SocialMail can be listed as an ‘approved’ plugin on AMO anyway so now is the best time to do it. Doing so now also gives me the opportunity to restructure parts of the program to make it easier to extend later.
The main task right now is to encapsulate to code so I’m not poluting the javascript namespace any more than absolutely required.
Other bits I’m working on are related to improving the new user experience and a new landing page for socialmail.
Oh and in case you haven’t seen it yet, check out the video that Larry (from lehsys.com) has made showing off the plugin.

I ‘Retweeted’ cause it’s just that cool.
I’ve to admit, I was going to leave Thunderbird. I was seriously looking at going to eMclient, but after Daniel released SocialMail- I can stay right where I want to be. Outlook has enjoyed Xobni and EMclient has a like function in it’s product, but now Thunderbird has this; it’s awesome!
I don’t know that I owe Daniel a thanks as much as I owe his wife a thanks; for encouraging him to write one.
Very cool.
Thanks,
LHenryJr.

I’ve entered the API but have no functionality. Am I missing something?

Hi Marc,
have you also enabled social networks on the first options tab? Unless that is enabled as well you won’t see anything different.
