wonders how she can mark all as read and have 128 new responses the next second. a bit much. NEED ability to dismiss threads from timeline.

  Ooh, dotlizard, thread dismissal is a WONDERFUL idea!

  or maybe to choose to follow certain threads and then filter for only those.

  ayse	agrees. i'm not involved in every conversation of every follower. once i determine that, it'd be nice to move on.

  i'm torn between dismissal, and only following by choice. but some way of filtering the "new" down to "new i want to read".

  if he starts a thread on a subject that bores you, you should be able to hide it - otherwise it will keep popping up and bothering you.

  plurk had a suggestions link. otherwise, we'll be bumping up against these ungainly bits for a long time.

  so no one knows how to plurk to the plurktocracy about all things plurkish?

  hmm. well they noticed msaleem's post about it, perhaps i should blog & plurk about it and maybe they'd notice that?

  worries that she doesn't have a notable enough blog for that yet

  any blog is notable enough

•

  good point. so, any other suggestions of wishes for plurk features?

  for "smart verbs". It'll recognize when you do a freeform verb and add a color that it looks like. It made more sense in my head.

• 
  Jun 05, 2008 - 04:50AM

  Mr Sir BigPapa

  wishes

  for plurk to remember the verbs I use for later (kind of what codyrobert said)

•

  You know, that would not be too hard to implement. I already have the code in my head...

• 
  Jun 05, 2008 - 04:51AM

  lizard.beer

  oh! yes! or special notation that would create special verbs upon request. like ::myverb:: or somesuch.

•

  ok going to keep this thread open & get to blogging in the other window. and if i ping msaleem's post that'll help too.

  i came on and I had around 168...plurk needs to do some organising on that one...

  says

  yes! but the color is the important thing. I want to say: codyrobert laughs about.... but laughs **needs** to be in a neon yellow

• 
  Jun 05, 2008 - 04:54AM

  lizard.beer

  ahh. so perhaps something like :myverb: (mycolor).

  We need to work on the filters. They have already thought of the clique to filer people.

• 
  Jun 05, 2008 - 05:03AM

  KDFrawg❤

  But dotlizard's idea of thread filtering is way cool.

• 
  Jun 05, 2008 - 05:04AM

  KDFrawg❤

  How about a checkbox in front of the avatar on the thread that would be checked by default but could be unchecked to ingnore the thread?

• 
  Jun 05, 2008 - 05:04AM

  KDFrawg❤

  Maybe all those years in GUI design were not wasted.

• 
  Jun 05, 2008 - 05:05AM

  lizard.beer

  see, i don't want to clique filter. i love all my plurk friends. i just don't love each and every plurk thread.

• 
  Jun 05, 2008 - 05:07AM

  KDFrawg❤

  I'm not sure how I would use the clique filter. I've been pondering it on and off all day. I think you would miss too much that way.

•

  thinks

  the checkbox is a great idea.

• 
  Jun 05, 2008 - 05:10AM

  KDFrawg❤

  I think the checkbox would work. And it's fairly trivial to code, as well.

• 
  Jun 05, 2008 - 05:17AM

  ayse	and it allows us 2 easily jump back in should we want to by keeping those friends' threads active (as opposed to unfollowing chattier folks)

• 
  Jun 05, 2008 - 05:21AM

  KDFrawg❤

  Yup. It is easily reversible. I really don't see much in the way of a problem with it. Thinking...
