Hey Cortez, thanks for taking the time to write up these suggestions. 1. Hubski and image linking. -We were concerned about images when we implemented it but decided that because you are encouraged to follow "people" more than "topics" on Hubski, it wouldn't really matter. If you post a bunch of annoying images, I just won't follow you. In fact, I'll likely "ignore" you and won't be exposed to them. That said, so far images have been used to display original work or to add a dimension to an original post or in some fun communal ways. 2. Hubski Discussion. -Thanks, glad you like the way it's set up. From the outset, mk had no down vote and I don't think we ever will. 3. Hubski #Communities. -Just want to point out that you can "ignore" a person that posts content you don't like. That said, I do like the idea of being able to quickly remove/dismiss a post from your feed. mk what do you think? 4. Hubski formatting. -Thanks for the suggestions here. Cortez, let me know what you think after using the site for a couple of weeks, I am interested to know if some of your thoughts change after using the site for a bit. Also, I'm interested to know if you have any other suggestions. Feel free to PM me. Thanks again for taking the time.
Thank you for taking the time to read over this I appreciate it. I'll definitely give you my feed back after a few more weeks, I'm liking it here so far. Can't wait to see how far this really goes its a great website to my experience. I didn't know about the ignore button, and I forgot about following, I guess those are some key features that'll ultimately give you the content you're interested in and tone out certain things you don't give much of a concern about. The way this website functions as a whole is pretty unique.
Cool, I look forward to seeing you around Cortez.
May I point out the fact that I can't help but be a bit overwhelmed by the notion of following people as opposed to topics? Thing is, people may have a lot of different interests, some of which may align with mine while others may not. Also there's a whole lot more people out there than there are topics, so following only a specific set of users may be very limiting, while following every person whose comment you found relevant or interesting can become a real mess and be very overwhelming. I think the hashtag system should be expanded on - sort of like subreddits, but dynamic, meaning there's no particular "section" reserved for them, people just tag them whenever they make posts, as they do now, but this allows for an easier organization of your interests and feeds.
That seems to be the way tags already work. How do you think they should be expanded?sort of like subreddits, but dynamic, meaning there's no particular "section" reserved for them, people just tag them whenever they make posts, as they do now, but this allows for an easier organization of your interests and feeds.
Yeah woops, I did pretty much describe them. What I meant is that they could be a bit more emphasized, as opposed to emphasizing the following users thing so much. But maybe I'm wrong, I haven't been here long enough to really say, but theoretically it sounds like it would be easier.
Hey, thanks for the feedback I appreciate it. What I would suggest is following a few tags to begin with. Once you notice certain users that post content you enjoy, follow them. Eventually, you're feed will be comprised more of people you follow thank tags. In my opinion, aggregation can function similarly to actual relationships. I may meet someone at a concert for a band I love, and become good friends with them. Overtime this friendship will revolve around more than just that one band, and perhaps more than just music. I think Hubski can work this way too. But if you're interested in a more focused experience, perhaps just following tags is the way to go. Hope this helps.
I think that's a great idea, thanks for the analogy you made! I'll give it all a shot, either way I'm happy with the site so far!
