To my mind, there are two things that we want to do: 1. Give poeople the tools to post what they want, how they want. 2. Give people the tools to read what they want, how they want. It's a similar sort of logic to letting people style their journas however they want, but giving people ?style=mine so they can read in whatever style they want. What I expect this will lead to: 1. Fully integrated twitter posting that doesn't rely on a third party (or rather, a fourth party, since it has to involve Twitter itself). 2. Reading page filters based on tag. This would mean not only that I could subscribe to (for instances) "all posts by denise that don't have the tag 'twitter'" but also "posts by mark but only those tagged 'dreamwidth' or 'perl'". This isn't something that we'd be able to implement quickly, but IMO it's what we should be aiming for. I'll also add that it's not our job to solve social problems. If Alice thinks Bob is being rude by posting lots of twitter entries but Bob thinks Alice is being rude by refusing to read them, that's something Alice and Bob will hav eto work out between temselves, and not something we can help with. -- rho whose opinions are purely her own _______________________________________________ dw-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dwscoalition.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dw-discuss
