Settings: Twitter Integration, Change Password, Reminders, and More!
A lot of wishes have been fulfilled with the addition of a few settings.
Reminders
There is now an “e-mail” tab under Settings which asks you to officially associate your account with an e-mail address — used for ‘forgot your password’ recovery (coming soon) — and more importantly, gives you the option to set a “daily” reminder. A reminder is essentially a once-a-day e-mail if you haven’t recorded anything for that day yet — useful for forgetters, like me!
Change Password
I’ve been bombarded with e-mails by people asking to change passwords, and I was embarrassed at one point that you couldn’t already do so. So, better late than never, here it is.
Twitter Integration
I am really excited about this. Here’s how you can set it up:
- Go the Twitter tab under Settings.
- Enter your username, and if you’d like to have reminders (they work just like e-mail reminders, but send you a direct message instead). Press “Setup”.
- Make sure you’re following @memiary and it’s following you back (can take a minute or two).
- Dm the activation code given (remember to tweet it like it is.) Example: d memiary #activate fjanj28dj.
- Wait for the validation response.
- You should be all setup!
You can now add or edit entries to Memiary via Twitter using the following convention: d memiary #[List Item #1 - 5] [Your Memory]. For example: d memiary #4 Went swimming for 40 mins. If the list item # already exists for today, it is replaced, and if it doesn’t, it is added. On a typical day, your tweets will look like this:
- d memiary #1 Woke up @ 6, went jogging.
- d memiary #2 Went to work, ate breakfast with team, talked financials.
- d memiary #3 Went to see ‘Twiilight’ after work w/ Kathy.
- d memiary #4 Had dinner at Junnoon.
- d memiary #5 Read some ‘Hot, Flat, and Crowded’ before going to bed.
There are a couple bottom-lines to this. First, this means that Memiary will work wherever Twitter works. Twhirl, TweetDeck, Twitterific, iPhone, SMS, you name it. Second, for those who are bad with everyday scheduled tasks, this eliminates your need to have to visit memiary.com every day. Set a daily Twitter reminder, send a few dm’s, visit Memiary weekly or bi-weekly to see what you’ve been doing lately, and you’re set to have your memories catalogued for life!
Export
A lot of users reported not being able to find the RSS/iCal links placed on the past week/month/year archive pages. So, there is now an “export” tab in Settings which lays it out for you.
