From the http://outloud.fm/ILXORS twitter sign-in
This application will be able to: Read Tweets from your timeline. See who you follow, and follow new people. Update your profile. Post Tweets on your behalf.
Read Tweets from your timeline. See who you follow, and follow new people. Update your profile. Post Tweets on your behalf.
That kind of thing just drives me to the Back button.
People are seriously going to let an app from someone they don't know decide to follow new people, change their profiles and post tweets just to listen to some tunes?

I think all things that agree to link up with twitter make those concessions, but on their own login page they state "We will NEVER publish to your account feed without you explicitly choosing to do so."
Right now it's just two guys and some helper monkeys, so you should probably ask them about it if you're really that spooked.

I just posed this to them:
@outloudfm Friends are spooked by the permissions granted with twitter login: See who you follow, and follow new people/Update your profile@outloudfm Maybe you could make the app read-only instead of read and write?
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 2 June 2011 09:34 (thirteen years ago) link
Thanks Johnny - I realise these clauses are pretty much standard but I don't like that blanket granting of permission that seems to be everywhere these days. Have you ever seen the crap a mobile phone app asks for?

Have you ever seen the crap a mobile phone app asks for?
lol my phone is ancient and pretty much just a phone.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 2 June 2011 09:49 (thirteen years ago) link
Yes, thanks for doing that - would definitely like to go back to one of these things but all that permissiveness does give me the major creeps.
― emil.y, Thursday, 2 June 2011 12:49 (thirteen years ago) link
Okay, both twitter and fb logins are now read-only on their end. No more crazy permissions being handed over.
You're welcome! ;)
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 8 June 2011 06:55 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, listening room is moving to a non-twitter/facebook method as well.

Hangin' out: http://outloud.fm/ILXORS
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 10 June 2011 00:52 (thirteen years ago) link
Looks cool, but I loved the Euro flavor of the old room, with its little turntable spinning. A nice tribute to the old days of cover art.
― Deremiah Was a Bullfrog (u s steel), Friday, 10 June 2011 01:32 (thirteen years ago) link
The turntable itself in the og Listening Room was a cool idea, but all the records (big ones and little ones) are overkill imo.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 10 June 2011 01:36 (thirteen years ago) link
Good session. The Pinhas/Merzbow > Nazz segue was a surprise treat.
― Monsieur Naturel (WmC), Friday, 10 June 2011 03:37 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, that was sublime.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 10 June 2011 03:40 (thirteen years ago) link
So, I'm giving this Outloud thing a try, anyone else out there?
― Tuomas, Saturday, 11 June 2011 18:12 (thirteen years ago) link
Seems to be working much better than Listening Room, great!
― Tuomas, Saturday, 11 June 2011 19:17 (thirteen years ago) link
Still rolling with good tunes tonight if anybody is around.

outloud is brilliant, been using it for the entire day
― merked, Sunday, 12 June 2011 20:39 (thirteen years ago) link
Didn't have the opportunity to drop in yesterday. When did they add thumbnail art to the activity feed? I like it. Aesthetically nice but still not cluttery.
― Alpaca Lips (Johnny Fever), Tuesday, 14 June 2011 07:32 (thirteen years ago) link
humph. tried it. but wonder if my net admins have blocked audio streaming as i can never hear anything.have tried IE/chrome/FF and the results are the same.
― mark e, Tuesday, 14 June 2011 07:56 (thirteen years ago) link
It must be on your end, because I've heard both tracks you uploaded.
― Alpaca Lips (Johnny Fever), Tuesday, 14 June 2011 07:58 (thirteen years ago) link
Or maybe your soundcard is fried?
― Alpaca Lips (Johnny Fever), Tuesday, 14 June 2011 07:59 (thirteen years ago) link
soundcard is rocking out to windoze player gubbins without issue .. but you will be right. tis my end and/or net admins.
― mark e, Tuesday, 14 June 2011 08:08 (thirteen years ago) link
Just in case it changes or whatever, here's what it currently looks like:

Tighten up the logo and maybe play with the color scheme slightly and I think they've finally got it right.
― Alpaca Lips (Johnny Fever), Tuesday, 14 June 2011 09:22 (thirteen years ago) link
oooh .. i never see the waveform .. nor the record art.so it could be a browser plugin/permission issue.
― mark e, Tuesday, 14 June 2011 09:29 (thirteen years ago) link
This looks very interesting! Do I need a FB or Twitter account to participate in this? I got rid of both a while ago, but can I just make a new twitter-account and join in? Is it invite only? I don't have any experience with this.
Also, Johnny: Sent you a friend-req, spotted your alias in your screenshot :)
― ...wow! (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 14 June 2011 09:29 (thirteen years ago) link
last.fm friend-req that is
― ...wow! (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 14 June 2011 09:30 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, fb or twitter login is needed. several people here have created dummy twitter accounts to use it, though.
will accept.

re: turntable.fm
Can't remember if it was mentioned here or not, but I just posted this in another place and thought I'd reiterate here.
I've played around on turntable.fm a little bit and, while it has some cool aspects, it turns the experience into more of a contest or game than I'm comfortable with. I'd rather just hang with people I know and play tunes instead of voting things up or down. Also, the chat portion of turntable.fm is deemphasized in favor of some totally dumb "virtual club" setting which looks like an 8 year-old's video game. No thanks.

New Outloud layout is cool.

Can't get on at the moment, but I'm intrigued by 'catrock'...
