New topic options for the GSFN homepage

Hi Get Satisfaction team,

I just thought about how to solve the problem of bringing certain topics to a broader community attention. Thor Muller stated here:
"I'd want to get a better sense for how many people follow brands on Twitter in this way before we spent the time to develop this...".

There is a quite simple solution for this issue. Maybe you are already planning it:

Additional to the "Latest topic" for the individual company on the homepage ("Active companies in Get Satisfaction right now"), there should be a "Hot topics now", "Most discussed this week" and/or "New ideas/problems/questions" area, so that we are really getting a dynamic picture or the activity on Get Satisfaction and are not that company focused as currently. From my point of view, the "active companies..." thing doesn't provide a lot of value.

This is because, one doesn't know most of the companies! (At least currently, as mainly web(2.0) companies are there...) The point is: "Last posting" isn't a quality feature, "most discussed/replied/liked" is indeed one! One new or curious users can really orientate themselves by.

I hope you get my point, maybe I'll add a screenshot montage, but I currently don't have an idea, how a visual proportioning could be solved best.

Thanks for listening to my ideas.

Kind regards.
