I want some feedback... Do you think it would be useful to comment on peoples' status updates? Let's get some pros/cons ;)

Pros: Meh
Cons: Meh

But seriously,
Pros: Well, there is social interaction like Agentrock said, and it could result in hilarious conversations
EX: Agentrock, do you like waffles? (Joke on a song)

Cons: Well, I am trying to think of some, I had one, but I forgot it.

I can't see any cons. Sounds like a good idea to me.

For me, it would depend on 1) where these comments would be displayed and 2) how those comments would be affected if the user changed their status.

I do think it's a good idea in general, because there have been a couple of times where I've wanted to comment on someone's status but didn't think it was worth bothering them with a PM or spamming a thread about it.


You have to be honest with yourself when you are writing. If that leads to somewhere unexpected then perhaps you really needed to go there.

If it works on Facebook, I don't see why something similar can't work on here. :)

Would people's comments need to be approved like the ones in the galleries?

I think not. People would probably report it when someone makes perverted or insulting comments.

Would it take away from forum discussion? As an alternative way to chat.

Pros: more community interaction

cons: there would have to be a special page because comments under your status could get long if there isnt a limit.



in the spring you gotta let the flowers fully blossom

They could be on the main My Caves page, under a link like "('x' comments)" under each status? Then when you click that link the comments could be displayed?

Probably not a feature I would personally use a lot, mostly because I forget my status even exists half the time, but as long as it didn't take away from main forum discussion I don't really see any cons. And it actually might help me remember that I have a status, heh.

Well i think that 1) a user's current status would be a link and it would lead to a page that just showed the status and users' comments, and perhaps after each status would be a (#) so people could tell how many comments there were before clicking on it. 2) They would probably just be erased upon each status change. I don't think status comments would be worth archiving since status updates in general aren't.

Hope that made sense! Feel free to add more input. :)

I think that this is a great idea, seeing as I have had several "conversations" with people via status line. The comments feature would make it possible for us to have these conversations without constantly changing the status.

Pros: More interaction within the community.

Cons: lolfacebook, sort of gimmiky, possible that our user pages will need extensive re-designing.
