I've been swamped with the 9-5 (lately 9-9) job but I have a couple questions for the community. What information do you want to see about other users? Specifically. Don't think about is it possible or not. It's brainstorming.

1. Avatars. Or not avatars. This has been pretty thoroughly debated already.

2. Seeing more of your relationship with other users.

3. flagamuffin's comment below regarding 'your past conversations with x'. veen said this as well - "see previous dialogues with others"

4. _refugee_'s insight into snapchats functionality of who you snap with most.

5. veen's note about seeing joined x days earlier, they comment more or share less often than you, etc

What else would you like to see if we were to dramatically increase the amount of information you could glean from profile pages? I kinda want to get it all out there and debate the opt-in, privacy, etc side of it later. I can assure you that mk and the team here is thoroughly committed to opt-in functionalities and giving users control over their information. We are making big strides to make Hubski more private and controlled by the user. We never want people to be scared of what information may be out there or automatically generated about them.

One thing I would really love to see is a visualization of my connection to a person. We have really nifty graphs for frequency of posts/comments over time. I would love similar graphs to somehow capture my relationship with another user. Maybe how many time's I've shouted them out/replied to them/they replied to me over time. Maybe some way to compare shared interests in tags. Maybe some way to compare the number of threads we both commented on. Chances are, even if I haven't engaged directly with them, I would like to get to know them better if we comment on 90% of the same threads.

And I've got a meeting. Throw thoughts at me.
