Re: Favorites improvements
I’ve been thinking about the community relationship involved with “Favorites” and known as “Like”, of course, on Facebook. @bplove I understand how Favorites are equivalent to Bookmarks, but I’d stress to @boonebgorges and other BP devs the difference (though you probably already know them, being the smart guy you are), is important.
Use in the “Like” fashion, we’re (potentially) able to group social relationship to a certain topic and then be able to pull those relationships out in a variety of ways:
-Show a cluster of most liked topics
-Connect individuals who like a certain topic together either via opt-in messaging or just graphically via avatars
-Connect these “Like” actions into the activity stream and add a filter
As of right now, BP.org doesn’t really do any of this. Yes, we can see each other’s favorites in individual profiles, but that information isn’t pushed to me in any way.
Random thoughts…
