Actifity feed, Note vs message

    Hello,
    I’m a little confused with some BP features.

    What is the difference between note and message?
    What’s the point of adding a friend? Message are only for friends?
    What is the point of Favorite button in activity? When user A adds as favorite user B activity, there is no notification for user B?

    Looking forward from reading to you.

    Hi @whoaloic

    What do you mean by “note”?

    Messages can be either public or private. Private messages work kind of like chat, and can be seen only by the ‘thread’ participants. Public message are ‘front-end’. You can public message someone by prefixing their username with the @ symbol. Public messages are also known as mentions.

    Regarding favourites, see this Trac ticket for how the feature will be improved over the next few versions.

    Hope this information helps.

    Thank you Henry for your answers.

    Note is what I call “What’s new” message in Activity Stream.
    That’s why you called public message or mentions?
    It’s like a tweet finally ?

    For private messages, I notice that user could send a message to all users so I was wondering what’s the point of Friends connexion.
    I was thinking that only users who are friends could send messages.

    Than you for the “favorite” button trac. It looks encouraging.
