i've been trying to raise this same issue with a site called "soundcloud". side issue, but the idea i had for that was that perhaps users could be voted down to a point that triggers a vote to ban them for abusing the system.
another idea would be to have no notification to the user who has been followed, thereby dropping the incentive for the spammer to randomly add people.

Thanks for jumping in and being the first to reply, Stanislav!
The UI needs a clarity overhaul in this respect for sure. Stanislav was spot-on: Right now, when you send a link to "Twitter" and the link currently does *not* have any comment associated on Mento, your message will be saved as the public comment for the link.
Note that when sending a link to a friend and adding a message, this behavior does not apply -- this prevents "private" messages from accidentally appearing as public comments.
I hope this makes more sense than the interface -- for now. Thanks for your patience!

Thanks Stanislav. I'm not near my laptop at the moment but I was under the impression that if you 'Send' a link to Twitter (the only way) then the comment you send appears in Twitter only, not in Mento, even if you choose to save the content in Mento as well.
I may be mistaken, I'll delete this post later if so!

Yes, it looks good but it would be better if you provide just the thumbnail of whole picture.. (similar to something that you do at friendfeed.. over there, i dont see entire picture, i see thumbnail!) – Jigar Mehta, on June 16, 2008 15:06

Another user noted this issue as well and the root of the matter is that Tumblr's "image" type only has one field for the caption/title, but no additional field for a note or description.
To test an alternative, we enabled the following for the other user: posting the title and description as part of the caption using additional HTML tags (which make them appear like Tumblr headings and note fields).
I've temporarily enabled this alternative for your account as well -- let me know if the styling works out properly for you and whether you'd like to keep it that way.

You're spot-on... because we felt the same way, we've been working on improved RSS feeds behind the scenes.
And we'd love to have your feedback:

Is this closer to what you have in mind? (please ignore the format of the URL)

Yes: they're abusing Twitter as an automaton to create link farms promoting their own websites - and don't give a d*** that they're degrading Twitter's performance in the process. I hope Google has algorithms to spot and disfavour websites thus promoted. :-{ – Eridanus, on June 12, 2008 22:20
Stanislav Shalunov reported a problem in Mento on June 12, 2008 02:03:
Having a screenshot prevents Tumblr exports from including commentWhen a link has both a screenshot and a comment, only the screenshot gets posted to Tumblr.
Example of problem:
First link on http://www.mento.info/shalunov/archiv...
has a comment ("Typical Senior Software Engineer at Google makes $120k.") and gets exported to
http://blog.shlang.com/post/38076304/...
without the comment.
Note how the problem seems to occur before posting: http://www.mento.info/shalunov/links/... already doesn't have the comment.
Comments on links without images work fine.
A comment on the problem "Add Followers/Following metrics and Follow/Block buttons to New Follower e-mail" in Twitter:
The problem with that is that these folks start up with 1--so the first 999 people would have to deal with it. I really think that the e-mail (or message on the twitter site) notifying that so and so WANTS to follow you, and your yes or no reply would be easier. Although yes, you'd still have to check it out and decide each one. The other option is for the twitterfolk to somehow put a cap on how many somebody is following or at the least, an alert to them so that they can check it out. Something has to be done. – smgct, on June 11, 2008 18:56
