everybody does it right now so here are my rather ironic and maybe over exaggerated 10 cents to +
just let me say some introductory words: i like +, i’d prefere it to fb, if everybody was on it (not only geeks and fags who think they have to just because its new). you made the point: many features + has are heavily missed features in fb! i somewhere read (not literally) “you use your fb, but you make your +”. + is, for the time being, not a social, but a medial experience to me. i can customize a lot, and that is just purely awesome. my suggestion: let this be your primary rule of concept, because fb, doesn’t let me decide crucial things (don’t know why. money?) and i hate that since feel mature. i tried to think about what is most irritating me about +’s behaviour…
1) want to mute circles.
-> created a “roflwhoareyou”-circle to add people i don’t care about, people i simply do not know (maybe your suggestion-thing did not work properly), still their “totally interesting” posts appear in my stream. this sucks, because i simply don’t want to see them. Now don’t come with “then don’t add them, because then i’d say, ok – just explain me the sense of circles again please.
2) reset circles when writing posts, or let me define the default!
ex:
write message to circle “men”
-> yey! vaginal!
write message to circle “women”
-> oh damn fu, just sent it to “men” because + remembered my last msg went to men 🙁
now everybody thinks i’m gay. shit.
3) want to see combined circles stream
-> i only can see one stream or all streams at once. sucks.
4) want to do a full text search on my (filtered) stream.
-> cannot! oh, sorry i forgot: you don’t have any xp in searching…
5) want to add friends to chat without awaiting their confirmation
-> i’ve already added them to a circle i trust, they have done so too, so why do we have to confirm this again? You give a shit about if i add somebody to a circle, and tell everybody about it. Be consistent: if they don’t want to talk to me, they wont. If they don’t want that i can add them without their confirmation then let them decide
6) generally, +defaults are crap. + is the gentoo of social media networks, so let ME (=ma) decide.
-> if i want that somebody can only add me to chat with my confirmation let MA decide (not you, crappy google!)
7) search twitter hashtags in sparks!
-> sparking zendfw doesn’t find anything about Zend Framework although its a common twitter-hashtag. don’t you search twitter, because its not yours? your whole business is built upon others content, so include that.
8 ) show me my online friends in hangouts!
-> hangouts are awesome, but this would just add the finishing touch. besides youtube vids are sometimes not played synchronously.
9) don’t want to see double posts if someone shared a friends post.
-> make something like “shared by XY”, its really annoying if 4 of my friends shared the same message of one of my friends. not only annoying, this is SPAM! (you know that spam is bad for user xp, dont you? google mail *wink*)
10) cannot find people by [any f** social network]-name
-> come on google? you’re the #1 search engine on teh interwebz! don’t tell me you do not know my twitter friends.
beim layout deiner posts solltest den blog eher auf 4chan stylen. das passt sonst gar nicht zu den süßen bergen.
aber asonsten very nightly.
ja hab eh schon über ein redesign nachgedacht, aber no time for now :/
