Comment on SpeakerRate, Now Open For Rating by M. Jackson Wilkinson

Thanks for the comment, Dave.

We’d definitely like to, as much as possible. We’ve looked into it, and have tried to contact the SlideShare folks to make it happen, but we haven’t heard back. Things may have changed since then that would help us make it happen more easily, but we’ve put that featureset aside for the moment.

Of course, if you could help make that connection, we can move it further to the top of our list

But yes, we’d love to have slides embedded in SpeakerRate talk pages, and it’d certainly be nice to share ratings back with SlideShare if it makes sense to display ratings/reviews there.

do you / can you / when will you folks integrate with SlideShare?

(disclosure: i’m an investor in the company, but more importantly all my presentations are on there…)

Thanks Patrick! We know that uploading is a little inefficient right now. We’re working on allowing multiple-file uploading for our next release.

Great work gentlemen. I’m digging the simplicity of this app, and the power it provides to simple sketches and wireframes. It would be really interesting if I could export a PDF of all my canvases from OmniGraffle and then import them into Connect-A-Sketch all at once, but for now I’m happy with just being able to connect them to create a clearer interaction path.

I am trying to use HeyCraig, but I live in Vermont and its listed for the whole state, there is no city breakdown in craigslist, yet Vermont is not accepted under the City field for HeyCraig. Is there a solution?

I spent a few minutes this morning transferring all of my Craigslist RSS feeds to your site (16 of them). Over the course of entering them, I found a lot of rather serious bugs:

1. Five different times, I entered a search and clicked “yoink!” only to be taken to the search results for someone else’s search. By clicking “your searches” at the top, I was “returned” to the searches for the account of the person whose search I just intercepted.

2. When I was returned someone else’s search, it would appear in my account’s searches under the name I gave it, but when I clicked on it, it’d be the other person’s search. The only way to get it out of my list was to delete the search from their account… which it let me do.

3. Because of these two issues, my guess is that there are conflicts with the IDs you assign… these users were entering searches at the same time I was, and in many cases it’s possible for the IDs to get mixed up, and the wrong ID can be assigned to the wrong account (or multiple accounts).

4. Since the user IDs default to sequential numbers, it was easy to just type in other numbers and access the accounts of other users. From here I could see all their searches, add new searches, and delete existing searches.

5. Similar to the previous one: Since the search IDs are sequential as well, just hex instead of decimal, it was easy to type a previous ID and access someone else’s search.

Never heard of the UK? I can get London, Canada, but not London, England.

Hi… just tried this after seeing in lifehacker. great idea, several initial problems & ideas:

1. nice to be zero-config and all but a login would be most welcome to manage searches.

2. first time i entered a search and a city, i got something COMPLETELY different, different search item and different city.

3. second time i entered a search which contained a space (MacBook Air) — i got unrelated results. searches should be treated as phrases.

4. instead of email, an rss feed option would be really great.

ok cheers.
