Public bug reported:
Hello,
Normally on Twitter when you reply to a tweet whith many twittos
involved, the default text in the answer has all the pseudos of them
(with @) pre-written.
Here in Friends only the @pseudo for the initial poster is put, so if we
want to answer also to the others (or just some of them) we have to
manually write them.
As interface is for Touch, it is impossible to select text with mouse
and "copy", both for pseudo or for message if we want to do a citation.
Also for the moment text selection is impossible in the text area but I
hope it will change soon on computers when a mouse is detected.
So my suggestion could be :
By default for an answer, like in Twitter, put all the @ that are in the
initial message. Clicking anywhere in the message opens the window for
answer with these @pseusos
And in addition to the RT button, add 3 other ones :
Reply : to answer only to the author of tweet, which would only keep in the
text area his @pseudo and delete others
Reply all : like default answer, leave (or re-put) all the @pseudos in text area
Quote : to do a manual RT or quote a part of the message, makes a copy of whole
of it in the text area with "RT " before
And same on Identi.ca
What do you think of this idea ?
Thanks !
