Yes, thanks - I'll have a look at that tomorrow (too late in the day for any serious thought now...). This kind of feedback is invaluable as we want to make the site as useful as possible.
Thanks Tom for the response. Yes, I would have said something along the lines of tagging an AudioBoo and having that relate to the room you wanted to post to. While I don't truly understand the API side of implementing this I might offer the suggestion that I can email to my feed and any other room I wish by either adding 'share@friendfeed.com' and/or 'roomname@friendfeed.com' for it to nicely cross-post without a need for me to duplicate/reshare.
Emailing may be easier to do this rather than through API, and I don't mind AudioBoo posting on my behalf. Just make mailshots to FriendFeed using my 'roomname' audioboo tags. Any tags that don't have a corresponding room will be rejected and no harm done.
I was also quite surprised that my AudioBoo picture didn't get posted on FriendFeed as an attachment, but I guess that's an easier one to solve. Hope I was of some help.
PS: This is merely a friendly critique. I only want to provide you with feedback so your service can be perfect ;)
Interesting, you're right - I don't use friendfeed myself so didn't understand the importance of groups - made some presumptions that are obviously bad :-S.
I am interested, though in how you would see integration with friendfeed working. I could see the option in the API to post items to groups alongside the main personal profile - but my assumption was that you would post a boo to a particular group if it was relevant to that group. And since we're auto-posting as boos arrive and we can't figure out what group would be relevant automatically, it just posts to your profile.
The only kind-of compromise I could see is a series of tag hints in the friend feed options that post to a particular group if it finds a specific tag, but thats quite fiddly and a UI nightmare!
Cheers.
