Thanks for all of your support guys and gals. Just wanted to put some of these things down in case you didn't know.
Are there any additions that you think should be listed? Are there things on the list you didn't know about?
Did you know that you can see through someone else's eyes by changing the username at the end of the URL like this: http://hubski.com/feed?id=insomniasexx ?
I am very interested in having hubski comments on my blog. I am currently using nikola ( http://getnikola.com/ ) with discus comments. I guess I will start taking a look at the wordpress plugin. See what I can get from that and post the results as soon as I have some.
Did you know that shared feeds go up beyond eight pips and you can see them by changing the URL like this: http://hubski.com/global?id=30
Thank you! Is there a way to easily find out what the, uh, most pipped posts of all time are?
I'm guessing keep incrementing the id number until you see no posts, then go back one number!
Yeah, that is a big part of why I posted this. I don't think enough people are using the "personal tags" and my hope is that this will change. I would love to be able to follow personal tags for things like #music. In fact, here's a shout out to all the people I know I'd like to follow that tag from: flagamuffin, humanodon, cgod, ecib, sounds_sound and scrimetime. I'm going to unfollow music but I'd GLADLY follow music@ from any of ya'll.
I'd like to be able to force the tag on a user myself. For instance, if I wanted to see all content that cgod posts related to music it would be cool if I could just set music@cgod and get all his posts that he tags with 'music' rather than hoping he does so.
That's a great point. mk it would be nice to eventually have such filters in place. It would be interesting to have the site tell you of all the music posts you shared who you share the most from.
Not sure if you realize this, but you can also follow domains. Side note, you might consider putting the link to Kenning Journal in your bio. I've gone there 3 times now at least assuming it would be there for me to link to. Instead I get your crush on kb :) -Just a suggestion.
I don't ... I'm not sure music.flagamuffin or whatever makes sense in the context of subbing various youtube links. To me, at least. If you have to unfollow #music, maybe use #newmusic as an alternative. That's where I post. I could see myself using a personal tag in future to submit my own poetry, etc.
yeah, but I may not like your #newmusic and now that tag sucks for me. But specifically following someones music tag ensures to me that I'm getting exactly what I signed up for. Nobody can dilute it. btw, I don't think your newmusic posts would suck :)
Hmm. I'm still not sure a personal tag would reach a large enough group to be feasible. Initially I saw it as a way to archive your own posts neatly. Which I would do with my own content, but wouldn't with things I merely posted for everyone's enjoyment. I'll think about it.
I think both use cases exist. For example, I am pushing for the ability to add a personal tag to other people's posts. Why? Because I would like to be able to create archives such as #bestof2013.thenewgreen and go through the years posts and pick out my favorites. I would love to archive hubski's best content this way. I'm not sure people would "follow" that tag, but I would definitely share that link w friends etc outside of Hubski.
I agree, you could go in to someone's profile and see "personal tags"
I'm tempted to make my own but I have no idea if anyone would be into the stuff I listen to.
There's only one way to find out...
Being new to this site I was happily surprised by the TMI link at the bottom. Thank you for all of this info. Cool stuff.
Welcome to Hubski! Glad you like the TMI page. If you have any questions about the site or anything really, feel free to PM me or shout-out. Enjoy your time here.
Sorry. I was mid conversation...where does "Holy crap I was not prepared for that. Hahahaha, awesome!" come into play?
I wonder if we should put all these things into a file and pull random ones out in places around hubski, like the TMI page, or FAQ. Just a spot that'll give you a random piece of hubski trivia.
Again, I will fully fall on the 'columns' sword - even though you guys won't let me :) And the date? Yeah, that was kinda me too. The whole, "make it look like a newspaper thing". Hubski is superb in its adventurous search for its own identity. Bravo!
Yeah, what mk said. Also, let me know when your site is up and running. While I'm not a gamer, I still look forward to checking it out.
