MePing Beta 7 Released

I've made a few additions to MePing as well as fixed what I hope is one last remaining bug with the AIR update framework. Hopefully, this is the last version of the app users will need to manually download. Check out the MePing page to see what's new and download the latest version.

MePing Beta 6.2 Released

I've added a few minor bug fixes to MePing as well as a bug that would sometimes prevent the AIR update framework from looking in the right place for updates. The update framework will not catch this version, so you will need to manually update the app.

Additionally, I've added new sections to the site for applications and code I'm sharing. Visit the MePing page and get the new update.

I've added several features to beta 6, including location entry and picture posting. Of course, each of these features will only work with the services that support them. Change log below:

- Added Purr notification system for ping confirmations
- Added location input for supported services
- Added manual refresh to recent pings
- Added picture posting for supported services
- Removed About button as AIR creates an About menu item using the standard OS app menu system
- Minor bug fixes

Download here or the auto update should pop soon.

MePing Beta 5: Now with Actual Workness

First, this version should actually work for everyone beside me.  It turns out that Ping.fm requires developers to get their API key "approved" after they get approved for a key itself.  Confusing process, but Sean, Ping.fm's CEO, was quick to help and approve my key.

This update includes two major changes, a minor change and the plethora of obligatory "minor bug fixes."  First, I've implemented a two column layout.  The first shows your most recent pings.  The second shows a list of all of your networks.  Second, I've implemented the very cool application update framework that Adobe baked into AIR 1.5.  I've also removed the network icons from the recent pings and replaced them with a generic type, such as blog, status, micro-blog, etc.

Overall, this version should be much more scalable.  All future updates should be seamlessly delivered by the app itself.
