some Tuesday Tweaks

We pushed a minor release today with some small feature tweaks. Highlights:
Smaller threadsy logo in social signature
We heard your feedback and reduced the size of the threadsy logo by 70%. We also shortened the threadsy link language. Here’s an evolution of the social signature design so far:
Some people requested that we remove the threadsy logo from the social signature altogether. We haven’t done that yet because we think this is valuable way to get the word out about us and gives people who like your signature a simple way to get their own. If the signature is still a no-go for you, please let us know why below and we’ll factor that in to our next revision.
“In reply to…” links for Inbound Twitter @replies
In response to your feedback in our forum, we added a link to the original tweet that was replied to for all Twitter @replies in your Inbound so you can better follow the conversation. Clicking the link takes you to the tweet on twitter.com (for now). We plan on improving this in the future so that you can view the entire Twitter conversation directly in threadsy.
The Ding is Dead in Streams
We’ve changed the notification sound to only ding when you have new stuff in Inbound, not in Streams. Note that you can always turn all sounds on/off in your threadsy settings.
See person profiles while composing a new message
Now when you compose a new Inbound message, threadsy will auto-open the person profile tied to each address you add. It makes it easier to check out the latest info about people before you send your message. If you have multiple recipients on a message, just click the address that you want to check out to see their person profile.
And of course a bunch of bug fixes
We’ll update all of the fixed bugs in our feedback forum shortly. Thanks for reporting and helping improve our Beta!

Meh, I’m okay with the threadsy logo at any size, including the people I send to. But can you add an option to turn off the threadsy link when you love something? Makes me feel like a spammer. (sorry if that ruins your promoting!)

Can you consider giving a text-only option for the Threadsy logo/link sig? I get complaints from some contacts that I’m sending attachments or some email clients flag the email as a potential scam. The option would be nice.

Why was the ding eliminated in streams!? One of the reasons I got into threadsy was because of the Ding on the streams. I have to look for some other system that gives me notifications on tweeter streams. I will find one and then migrate. Threadsy should have left it up to the users to choose the on of off button for the ding in streams!

We removed the ding in streams after a lot of feedback from users. It was annoying them because it was always going off. Now when they hear a ding, they know it’s Inbound. We’ll consider adding back a Streams ding in the future if a lot of people want it. Perhaps a different sound?

Any sound will be great. Maybe a low tone. I do not know if is difficult to have an ON or OFF button for the stream alert. Thank you.

I agree with SgtPikachu. The threadsy link at the bottom of the email is spam-ish and the reason I won’t use it. I can accomplish the same by setting up POP accounts and such. It’s a lot more work than using threadsy, but it is transparent to my email recipients
