Alrighty.
I do like the idea of a agragated feed or wall. Subscribed boards could show new topics in your feed, thoughts posted on your wall could be shown friends thoughts could be shown. On sites with walls inhaled some notifications could be shifted to the wall instead, friends new thoughts for example would then make more sense in the feed then in the notification center.
Thank you,

So. Was considering thought likes.

There are two ways of implementing them.

The first one would be Pete's field. Using the likes system. Quite obvious.
The second one would be mine. Closer to retweets in look and feel. Adding a Rethink button. When you do that, it actually sends an *empty* reply. Internally this would be considered like a RT. Any reply to that RT would have their parent set to be the original thought. This allows getting an idea of a thiught's popularity by number of replies only.

What do you like best..?

I think I'd prefer rethinks. Seems more logical and probably faster.

Certainly faster. And not too hard to implement I think :P

Certainly the second one.
The way it's meant to be

I'm just not sure about the homepage list... See, what do I show for a new thought that's just a rethought?

"RT original"?

Or

"@original> RT"?

Or do I keep it aside and then add, next to the original thought, a list of people who rethought it?
Or do I just ignore that and test against thought != ''?

Lol it's getting fun even before I got started... Heck, even before I got finished with my other work :lol:
