Any hints?

Built by Twitter employees... with Facebook Connect!

So what? Facebook is a bigger network than Twitter.

I love lean startup methodologies and all but cmon... not even a small description of how? Not a single screen shot? How do we know it is even by twitter employees?

Huh, after I signed up with Facebook they had my real email address. I haven't worked with the Facebook API for a couple years but they didn't used to give third parties access to the real email.

The permissions popup when connecting with an app explains this and gives you an opportunity to send a proxied email address. Albeit its designed for you not to see it, in small fonts.

Thanks for the bit about the proxy address. I had no idea that option existed.

richardw• 15 years ago

It defaulted to my real address, and I had to change to the proxied address.

Sounds like a straight ripoff of David Weekly's Up For Stuff.

Doesn't work in Chrome dev. Insecure media access?

raid52• 15 years ago

After logging in via FB, it asks, "WHAT’S IN YOUR POCKET?." Clicking on any of these mobile icons doesn't seem to do anything.

norova2• 15 years ago

It should give you a confirmation message stating that they'll let you know when UpFor is ready for whichever device you selected. Might be your browser? I'm using Chrome 12.0.742.60 and didn't have any issues.

raid52• 15 years ago

Chromium 13.0.768.0 (85572). Sounds like it may be a issue with this build

Pretty skeezy but amazingly efficient. I signed up, they got all my facebook information. I just walked out to my car and it's already placarded with UpFor stickers.

Anyone have a description of this service? I hate signing up for something just to find out I don't want it and I don't want them to have any information about me.

Who else thought the "designed in SF, CA" slogan at the end was a pathetic echo of Apple's "designed in CA"?

benreesman• 15 years ago

no comment here on it being pathetic, but it seems to be the signature line for this guy: http://vlourenco.com/

There's nothing wrong with loving where you live.

plainOldText• 15 years ago

So what... if it's made by twitter employees it's supposed to be cool?

omarkassim• 15 years ago

Guys - Your Typekit CSS is being served up insecurely and is throwing up a mixed mode issue in Chrome 11.0.696.68.

May want to change it to serve over https instead.

And a little bit of insight on what exactly the service does / plans to do before forcing us to hit that Connect with FB button would really help.

paulnelligan• 15 years ago

hmmmm, it's just a page with no info, no way in hell am I signing up. I'm quite happy with how I hang out with friends thanks

"We’ll email you at apps+.....@proxymail.facebook.com when we’re ready to launch on your device" is what you see after FBconnect and chose your mobile device
