HP just approved my updated version of Ping.fm for webOS.

Version 1.0.2 adds support for cross-app launching and international characters.

Cross-app launching was suggested by Marc (@ScienceApps) in order to provide support for posting via Ping.fm inside his Lithium Messenger and Multiple App Launcher apps.

Any webOS app (>= 1.4.0) should be able to cross-launch Ping.fm by using something like:

var args = {
appId: "net.thauvin.erik.webos.pingfm",
name: "main"
}
var params = {
method: "blogs",
title: "This is a test title",
message: "This is a test message"
}
this.controller.stageController.pushScene(args, params);

The parameters are as follows:

Parameter	Required	Description
method	No	The service, trigger or group to post to. (e.g.: microblog, @tt, #group, etc.)
title	No	Title of the posted message, if required or supported. (e.g.: blog)
message	No	The message body.

I've also implemented a workaround for an inconsistency in the Ping.fm API that prevents posting to certain groups.

As usual, the up-to-date source is in my subversion repos.

I was wrong it is still coming down. Not sticking to the ground, yet.

Granted it's rapidly turning to rain, but still…
