Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

Facebook app

As much as I don't like them, from a business stand point, you guys should develop a Facebook app that updates Skitter Stats on facebook and tells people how many characters you can write or some really hard character you learned today as an update. It would be a great marketing tool I think.

haha, that would be kinda fun. I like the idea of adding a social aspect; I could track my friends' progress as well as my own.

There actually IS a way to have it auto-post info as your status. A buddy of mine back in America has it (or did, until he just had a baby and has NO time for Skritter); it would tell when he hadn't studied in a few days, how many characters he'd learned, his goal, etc. I'll see if I can find out about it.

You can set up syncing of Twitter to Facebook and then use Skritter's Twitter progress updates feature:

It's pretty basic. There's a lot more we could do with it, given the time.

The Facebook App my friend used is called "Selective Tweets". This app will only post Twitter posts that end with the #fb hashtag, rather than syncing Twitter and FB directly (where ALL your tweets show on Facebook). Plus, if you're like me, when you try to sync FB and Twitter, you get caught in endless loop with Twitter's FB app, where it never seems to want to actually work right.
