Hello!
We've just released a bit of an update to the "status updates" feature in the activity stream on your homepage.
The main advancements are:
(1) You can now "reply" to someone else's update
(2) You can now "like" someone else's update
(3) Updates look a bit spiffier (but not super-spiffy - more on that in a moment)
(4) Each update has its own "permalink" page, so you can share it with others, and more easily navigate chains of replies to a single update.
We're launching it now because, frankly, we're really pretty excited about the whole thing, and we wanted to share it with you. However, there are some interface elements that are still under consideration, which we'll be addressing in the next week or so. Namely...
(1) As hinted above, we think the new look is an improvement, but we're not 100% happy with it - please expect minor tinkering in the near future.
(2) You can't "unlike" something you've liked just yet... so be careful with that clicking-finger!
(3) For those of you who are reguarly all a-twoot, or who twutter, or whatever it is the cool kids do, you may notice that there's no direct, nice way to "mention" someone with, for example, an @ symbol. Doing this is slightly complicated by the fact that, in Glitch, players can have spaces in their names. However, we do have some Nebulous Plans for this which we hope will be enacted in (relatively) short order.
Feedback is welcome!
