My space just got Im(instant messaging) so it gave me the idea for this post. SoulCast Powers that Be Now hear this: We could use Im. And maybe a small window that we could go to and type in the persons user name so we can immediately get to their blogs so I don't have to search the user's data base.EX: ____________(this is the bar. Say I want to see Secret now. I type in her name and her blog pops up.
 
Everybody else chime in anytime and tell these PTB guys what we need or could use here at S.C. so that life could evolve a little for us. I'm pretty sure I'm not he only one who wants to see some changes.

    HH:  Ed and I were talking about a chat feature not too long ago.  I posted it to SC help a while ago.  I'm afraid to say, I forget the reply, lol!
     
    I like your idea!  If you have Secret as a user, look on the left and you can just click on her name and there she is!

    the ability to send messages privately to other soulcasters would be nice. seeing a soulcaster's blog isn't tough: every time you see their name generated by SC (such as at the top of any comment), it's a link to his or her blog.

    chatting specifically would be a slightly different thing than you and i discussed, daily--i think HH is talking about IM applications, which would be a bit different.

    Ed...I'm slow, lol.  I thought about that AFTER I just commented on one of your posts and was coming back here to say "DUH!" lol!
     
    easysite.com that I was telling you and others about in my post has a chat feature...just thought I'd tell ya ;-)

    Private messaging would get my vote.

    Aside from the chats, being able to send each other private messages would be great. It would remove the problem of sharing important information with everyone...and it wouldn't have taken me so long to swap emails with some of you guys here on SC.
  • Zayda said on Feb 12, 2007....
    Private messaging would be nice, but honestly, I don't see the need for an IM feature.  I don't want SC to become like MySpace or Facebook to be honest. I think adding too many of the features that MySpace has will ruin SC. 

    And well, HH, I'm confused by whole find a user's blog suggestion you made.   I don't find that finding a specific users blog is difficult at all; everyone's name is a link to their blog.  and really the URL for everyone's blog follows the same pattern:

    http://www.soulcast.com/username

    So, as long as you know the username, you just need to type out that URL.


  • husbandhater said on Feb 12, 2007....
    What other features does my space have? And what is face book. Also I'd like to know when some are on the same time as I. Maybe they or I might be in the mood to talk. I also have to refresh the page when I do find they are around the site and want to talk. Im would delete this part of the process. Or a chat feature like DA&P suggested. Any more suggestions? SC has to evolve some time.
  • BrenneeLee said on Feb 12, 2007....
    I agree with Zayda.  Some of you already know how I feel about MySpace, and so I won't go into it but I love the fact that I'm nobody here.  I posted a picture of me for anyone interested but I really don't like the idea of a messenger.  Not to say that it might be great for you guys, I just have no use for it myself.
    I guess that really doesn't make sense but oh well, I think you get my drift.
  • caliqueen said on Feb 12, 2007....
    i'm sure regular SCers have a "shit list." personally, if i'm on someone's shit list, which i'm sure i am by now, i wouldn't want an IM feature where someone can blast me at their leisure. that's just my 2 cents. 
  • Zayda said on Feb 12, 2007....
    CQ--I think that's part of my concern with an IM, especially if it were like the one on MySpace.  Currently, from what I understand of the MySpace IM, anyone on your friends list is on your IM List.  (I could be wrong about this.)  So, if everyone on SC who is subscribed to you was automatically on your IM list that could be bad as we don't have the power to remove people who subscribe to us (unless they comment and we block them).

    Personally, I would find the ability to keep someone I have blocked from reading my posts in addition to them not being able to comment on them as people in the past have copied parts of my posts into their own blogs after they have been blocked from mine.

    Yes, HH, SC does need to evolve but if it simply evolves into another myspace, I suspect many people would leave because they came here and stayed here because SC was nothing like myspace.
  • BrenneeLee said on Feb 12, 2007....
    Zayda, It's true about myspace IM.  Everyone on your friend's list is on it. You do have the ability to block them or show yourself as offline if you choose, and of course, they have to have it downloaded as well
  • mom said on Feb 12, 2007....
    I agree on it all, I also want spell check.
  • Zayda said on Feb 12, 2007....
    Brennee--Thanks for clarifying that a bit.

    Mom--If you use the newest version of Mozilla Firefox as your browser, it's got a Spell Check built in.
  • mom said on Feb 12, 2007....
    It does?  I will have to check it out.  Thanks Zayda
  • husbandhater said on Feb 12, 2007....
    I like the spell check idea. I don't have that fire thingy. We need a spell check SOULCAST Powers That  Be! I'm not asking for us to be like my space or post a picture( I never look good in them anyway.) But I'd like to chat with others. If they had a way to block the IM or at least it was an option would you guys be open to it then. If you were able to turn it on and off and block certain users etc.,.?
  • mom said on Feb 13, 2007....
    Yes, or even if there was something that let you know who was online and then we could go to parachat to chat if we wanted.  :)  That would be just peachy :)
  • Dicconzane said on Feb 13, 2007....
    Leap... that's me jumping on the bandwagon. PM would bea great idea.
