Find your friends - now with Twitter

A little sneaky Wednesday feature for you - it's now easier than ever to find your friends on Glitch with the new add friends page. If you use Twitter, you can find your Twitter friends on Glitch.

We updated your friends page a few days ago and this should round out those changes. If you find anything wrong, please let us know!

  • So does this mean we'll be able to invite our friends soon?
    Cause I mean, finding other players via Twitter sounds cool... but finding my friends and being able to play along side them would be AWESOME.

  • Does this mean that just anyone from Glitch can now find me on Facebook?  If so (nothing personal to anyone) but I dont like that.

  • No, I think it just scans your Facebook F'list and compares it to whoever's playing Glitch. If Facebook could import friend's from Glitch, then that would be creepy.

  • They have to be your friend on facebook, which is a mutual thing since you have to confirm it.  They can't find you on facebook from glitch.  It's glitch finding them because you are already friends.

    Not sure about the twitter part since you can follow whoever you want.  I'm thinking they have to be following you back for glitch to find them to friend.  Could be wrong.

    Hopefully the Trojan Room Coffee Pot will be implemented some day!

  • It only works in the other direction - if you follow them on twitter, you can find them on Glitch. If you want your Glitch friends to find you on Facebook/Twitter, add a link to your Glitch profile.

  • I must be blind as a baterfly because I can't find any way to sort this list.  It is nearly useless to me in alphabetical order.

  • How about a feature that just finds friends for me?  I don't care where they are. 
    Posted 5 months ago by WalruZ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • shhexy: we're planning to add that as soon as they add glitch importing

    Hopefully rec.games.roguelike.nethack will be added some day.  But now my mom needs the phone line so I have to log out!

  • Does this mean that "sort by date added as friend" is not going to be implemented?
    Posted 5 months ago by WindBorn Subscriber! | Permalink
  • WindBorn: There's s staff reply in this very thread, 23 replies above yours, that states we'll be adding it back. So yeah, we'll be adding it back.
    Posted 5 months ago by Bees! Subscriber! | Permalink
  • oooh, any day now, then!

  • I can see three people on my add friends page who were, but are no longer, facebook friends. But I cannot see every person who plays/played who is a former facebook friend. So I'm not exactly sure what's causing that. I unfriended the three people who I can see. And the two people I can remember having as friends on facebook who also play this game who I don't see unfriended me on facebook. I'm not sure if that's the difference or not, but it seems like a strange distinction for a script to make.

    I promise, there was very little drama involved in most of those unfriendings. But it still makes me feel a bit weird that they show up here.
    Posted 5 months ago by Quirk Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ah, yes.  Thank you Bees!
    Posted 5 months ago by WindBorn Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Quirk: If people were ever in your suggestions list, then we don't remove them because you unfriended them on FB - you can click the 'X' next to their names to stop them from ever being suggested again.

    As for people you're friends with on FB not being suggested, that could be because we don't know about their FB account - we have to be able to associate their Glitch and FB account (by having them generate suggestions themselves or signup with FB initially) to be able to suggest them. A bit confusing, I know :)

  • So when are we getting a G+ tie-in?
    Posted 5 months ago by Wandering Confusion Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ah, okay. Thanks, Bees!
    Posted 5 months ago by Quirk Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Just curious - how do you recognize glitch people on twitter? Is it linked up when you use this feature?

    Stoot showed up as "recently added" for me but I follow a few other glitch players who did not show up.
    Posted 5 months ago by Vic Fontaine Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Vic: It's linked when you use the feature and we'll soon be adding something that shows that (and lets you unlink). To get it started, we used links on public player profiles to their twitter accounts. There are a lot fewer Glitches with linked Twitter than Facebook, but we'll be adding it to the signup flow soon too, so it should even out.
