Hey Swaroop,

Saw the comments and felt should post.Just wanted to let ppl know that we don’t charge anything for the SMS. The service provider charges anything between Rs.1-3 for the SMS. Also in the future, we are looking at allowing ppl to send out msgs via the website itself.

Um..personal query..your last post was 10 days back, any reason why u haven’t posted in the interim period. Do get back. Thanks for the post

@Thejesh: There’s no web interface. I don’t think GupShup charges anything, only your normal sms costs apply.

Does GupShup has web interface for posting or is it only through SMS. How much does this SMS cost?

@Sriram: Good to know that the scrollbar issue and the install page redirection issues will be fixed, great … I should check out the ‘rip’ option, that sounds interesting.

Btw, in the next update, a lot of the blocks will resize themselves automatically. This should fix your problem automatically

Thanks for trying out Popfly

The iframe scrollbar turns up because the content doesn’t fit in the size given. Modify the iframe tag’s width and height. Popfly does a bad thing today by automatically suggesting 100% for both. I got your mashup to render without scrollbars by setting width to 200 and height to 230 on my computer. There are of course other ways to make iframe scrollbars disappear.

As for the common appearance, why settle for the ordinary? Go to My Page->Create a block (it should be on the left side). Now, find the NewsReader block and ‘rip’ it. You can now modify the block to your heart’s content.

The block editing experience isn’t great right now (that’s why we have a downloadable SDK) but you should be able to get the look you wanted.

@Manoj - The fact that it yanks you away to the Silverlight page is a bug that we already know about. We will have this fixed the next time we push our bits to our production servers (in 2 weeks or so). I know it’s kinda painful right now - sorry!

@Manoj : Sorry, I had not tested the widget on a computer without Silverlight installed.

@Harsha : You said it.
