These are looking very, very smart.

Offtopic/suggestion. Do you think you guys could make one of these sigs that could display your now playing in iTunes? I think its possible, i dont know

[Johno]

Its possible to do the iTunes one easily using last.fm

I was making one for myself, but it was pretty rubbish so just stopped lol.

I dont like Last.fm, its just a horrible site and the sigs are rubbish. I would like one that will update when the song changes, simple. Like Calebs old one.

The one I was making did update when the song updated (because it wasn't cached) - but you have to remember that the reason they don't update automatically when the song changes is because they are cached as multiple requests to the server will slow it down.

With twitter, the maximum amount of requests you can make to the server each hour is 100 - So if the signature wasn't cached then each time someone loaded the signature, another request would be made.

Of course I may be wrong, but I believe that most of that is right

Well we have decided on a name and domain, so we will soon be releasing under:

www.socialsigr.com - Social Signatures

The site will be out in a few days, hopefully we will be doing a 10 - 15 min cache system for services like twitter etc... however we will not hit the requests limit as we are in the process of been white-listed.

Forgot to mention we will support loads of services such as: lastfm, myspace, facebook, twitter, pownce, rejaw etc...

Awesome news

Really looking forward to this, I will definitely be using it!

My old one was based on Last.FM and used the Last.FM API You could make a iTunes plugin to offset your current song to an FTP server's text file.

We are currently in the process of being white listed, which raises our requests to 10,000 per hour, and the Twitter staff are being very gracious with this.

There is a nice market for something like this, because to be honest, TwitSig doesn't cut it.. and offering more then one service puts ourselves at a "pretty unique" position.

[Johno]

I agree, TwitSig is rubbish (and looks terrible) but yours looks very nice and works really well - Hope all goes well in getting White-listed

Edit: Nice to see the slim one Im using it now!

Awesome! More work will be done on this in the coming days, and in the few days we have worked on this, so much progress has been completed.
