An odd tweet showed up on my account tonight. It was a message saying that I had posted something on Pheed, a similar sharing/social network.
And that did happen — I setup a new account on Pheed and did a test post to see what it looks like. But the automatic cross-post on Twitter was unexpected and annoying.
When I created my account, Pheed walked me throught a few pages of account settings. But it didn’t show me the “sharing” settings, which the accidental tweet led me to find. And that’s when I noticed Pheed’s lame sharing settings had Twitter posting on by default … and also defaulted to signing me up for every email alert possible.
Talk about annoying … this is how NOT to do default sharing settings.
