Ive been giving the idea of a "Twitter" in a users profile page instead of a "Blog" and i think that a "Twitter" would actually solve many possible problems.
Twitter
its a bit boaring but you update your space with your thoughts and activities.
Blog
Your hoping members will interacte with what ever you post about.
Already with the very simple blog rick pushed out for 7.5 none of my members are using it?
Well you cant even thank anyone for there comments or prase.
If a member leaves abusive comments or advertising with in your proile space you can only delete it not edit or block a person from adding more and more comments into your profile.
So in a Nut shell its wide open for abuse.
BUT
If you make it a twitter in your profile.
Where its YOU who updates your profile page with what your upto etc then your the only one who would be guilty of adding offensive comments.
Personally i do think a "Twitter" with in a forum has more legs than a "Blog" beacuse the Twitter is about you and that's where you find the info in your profile page.
Where as in reality i think that if a memeber wants to make a "Blog" topic they may as well use say a General forum to inform the forum.
There are so many holes and reasons for a blog not to work in a forum enviroment IMO but i think a "Twitter" might just become a usefull function.
Only idea's before rick gets 8.0 finished up.
(p.s. i was also one of the many that shouted long and hard for a BLOG but i think that opertunity has been missed).
Your Thoughts ?
