      @daviding Thanks for the feed back! Yes, do agree on getting enough people with the right vocabulary and concepts to get a conversation started. Looking into collapsing up.. would that be like the auto industry selling the less profitable parts of their business? Like to know more..

      Just noticed a user must go to the last page of a forum discussion in order to post a reply. Any way this capability is made available on any page of the discussion?

        @dwilson I have to say that I’m disappointed that Buddypress doesn’t seem to offer threaded discussion, and entries are just sequential.

        Come to think of it, LinkedIn forums aren’t threaded either. I guess that not threading encourages messages to be shorter and end sooner, rather than going on in complicated structures.

      Curious, does everyone know how to use the ”Mention” feature. Just click that little link up there to the right that says ”@ your userid Mentions” and your get all posts that someone used your @user in it. Like @dwilson or @daviding. Try it!

        David Ing replied 1 year, 10 months ago

        @dwilson Yes, the filters help get your attention. The default view is ”All Members”, but could be more focused with ”My Friends” … if you’re selective. The definition of ”friend” is subtle, in that sense.

        @dwilson Sure. The sitewide activity feed for SysCOI.com is at http://syscoi.com/commons/activity/feed/ , and that can imported into any aggregator (e.g. Google Reader, Plaxo). At http://learn.linkedin.com/groups/, it reads: “RSS items can all be featured by clicking ‘Add to Manager’s Choice’ from the top of any item’s detail page”.

          FYI…the feed looks great in LinkedIn. All posts in syscoi are now showing on a rolling banner on the LinkedIn group. Great publicity for syscoi and a good method for gnerating interest in the LinedIn group among those who have not come to syscoi yet. Check it out!

      I at first didn’t quite understand @daviding ‘s distinction between a walled garden site and an ‘open’ site. It seemed to me that LinkedIn was getting all the action, and thus more open, compared to syscoi, which may technically be more visible, except that nobody is looking at it. But now I am imagining that there [...]

        @dwilson If you’re talking about the automated publishing from syscoi.com to http://twitter.com/syscoi , there’s a limit of 5 entries every 30 minutes by Twitterfeed. The alternative is to check the Twitter box and post it from your own account (which you have to specify in your profile).

          Dennis Wilson replied 1 year, 11 months ago

          Ahh, OK. If I check the Twitter box, will my update be fed to both my account as well as the syscoi account?

            David Ing replied 1 year, 11 months ago

            @dwilson Yes, two entirely different data streams. The checkbox goes to your Twitter feed, not the one at http://twitter.com/syscoi .

                    @dwilson On the Wordpress Tweetstream plugin page, I don’t see the ability to directly tweet to two accounts. You’ll have to manually retweet … which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

      I wonder, do we have the ability to allow users to vote on forum posts? For example, post 1 gets 5 thumbs up and post 2 only gets 3 thumbs up.

        @dwilson It looks like most of the Wordpress plugin for “thumbs up/down” are mostly Digg-like popularity polls, which isn’t what I think you need.

        We could install survey software on the web site, if that suits you’re purpose. I’ve never used it before, but one of the open source one-button install scripts is LimeSurvey. There’s a…[Read more]

        Hi Dennis. You can sign up at wordpress.com and start a blog there. They manage the software ware so it may be the right place to start. If you find that the free features don’t meet your needs ,you can upgrade to the premium account.
