Favourites in timeline

[Anne Kathrine Petterøe <yo...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have just created a Jira task for making favourite messages show up  
in the timeline.
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ESME-76

Not urgent or major, just nice to have feature down the line.

Sounds good to me! :-)
I will create a new Jira task for the separate timelines. (both public  
and "private")

OK, having a separate "resent" stream is the one thing I didn't
mention now, but I've been thinking about it too:

http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-esme-dev/200904.mbox/%3Cc7fc82820904220132uc6c9cf8s90d35ff4274ef052@mail.gmail.com%3E

Then we can easily add another filter for your regular timeline to
weed out all resent messages.

In addition, it would be nice having a public "resent" stream with
some sort of popularity indicator, similar to what identi.ca is doing.

Maybe we could mix the resent feature you suggest with this?:

("what if favourties was a separate stream,  just like replies and DMs. This
stream would contain the favourites (or RTs if you'd like) of the people you
follow.)
My idea behind automating RTs and making favourites easier accessible is to
clean up the timeline. I don't know what your twitter timelines looks like
these days, but sometimes I am drowning in RTs.

It's my next item on the todo list and I'm already thinking about how to do it.

Note that I we will call it "resent" instead of "favorites". It's
probably better for this feature to be associated with the widely used
retweets, rather than the obscure favorites.

Technically, we already have a "resend" action when a message matches
some filter. I've wondered why a user can't resend a message
explicitly without having an action rule.

Here visual feedback is important- when a resent message arrives in
your timeline, it's a good idea for the user to know how it got there
(it was resent) and who resent it.

I think this serves the intended purpose and is more useful than
Twitter's "favorites". "Favorites" are only for yourself (at least
it's not easy for someone to get at all his friends' favorites), while
"resent" are shared for everyone else to see.
