Favorites and Comments on their way - distributed of course!

The ones who follow me on Twitter - I’m sorry for not so often use the NoseRub Twitter Account - already read, that we added favorites to NoseRub:

You can access the permalink of an entry by just clicking on the time in the right column. Having permalinks also means that you now can delete entries from your own social stream - a not so unimportant feature, as we just learned, when Twitter removed if for a day.

You can also see the favorites a user made:

There is currently no official link from a user’s profile to his/her favorites, but that’s just an issue of design/layout. You now can always access your own favorites from the My Favorites menu item.

When looking at any social stream, we now also display who marked the item as favorite, so you can discover interesting entries more easily.

The next step will be to add comments to any entry. This is under way, as we speak, so be prepared for more news in the next couple of days.

Comments and favorites will be made available across NoseRub instances to have the experience of a real distributed social network. On each NoseRub instance, there will be a RSS-Feed of comments and newly marked favorites that will be exchanged across all NoseRub instances that are listed on noserub.com/sites.

That feature might not work 100% from the beginning, as we want to make a new release soon - expect it to be by the end of this month.

We hope you like this feature!
