Hi,

is it possible to post RSS feed articles including attached pictures ? It would be nice to deliver the text and the attached picture which are available in many RSS feeds through tweets or posts on blogs. Thanks.

Fabrice.

Facebook is the only service which has a Thumbnail feature.

the opposite would be nice, too. Is it possible to DISABLE the (preview) picture in a facebook post? E.g. Importing tweets to FB I don't want my twitter avatar to show up.

It would be great if dlvr.it could post images for tweets on services like twitpic.com then include the link as part of the tweet. That can act as some sort of thumbnail since Twitter supports displaying picture from these services within their interface.

I would personally love to have this.

Dexter,

Instructions for disabling thumbnails are included in the FAQ entry linked above.

 

Kanny,

At this moment, we have no immediate plans to implement picture uploads.  All of the pictures in an RSS feed are already linked somewhere on the web, so we would just be copying it and placing it somewhere else uselessly.  We've had minor discussions about supporting it for manual posts, but there is still no timeline for when that might occur.

I wonder if there would be a way to integrate moby to handle the image.  Just a thought out loud.

Is it possible to Post an Status Update to facebook using the picture which is used in the rss feed?

To Share an Link looks like "i would like to share an link", not like "i tell you something about me" :)
