Can I follow a company to get notifications of all new topics/posts? Last reply on February 04, 2008 13:56.
I don't know if this is a question or an idea for a new feature. I can get notifications about replies to topics that I start, but is there a way to get notifications about a company in general?
For example, I should be able to subscribe to something like a daily summary showing "The following 10 topics have been started in Sprint:" and "The following 7 topics in Sprint have new replies:" with the subject lines of the topics. Also, I should be able to subscribe to instant notifications about new topics, new replies, or both -- just like the notifications I get about topics I started -- for all topics in a given company.
This would be most useful for employees of the company, but also for the regular Joes interested in keeping up with companies they vehemently support or oppose ;-) -

Improve dashboard and abridge posts everywhere on the site Last reply on October 11, 2007 01:11.
Looking at my dashboard, I see the entire Wall Street Journal article I posted as talk in Sprint. Please abridge long posts to only show, say, the first 80 - 90 words. If people want to read the post, they will click on it. If it doesn't interest them enough to click, why force the whole thing upon them in the dashboard or on the company page?
Of course, you'll need to worry about HTML tags and close any open tags like blockquote or bold or whatever. A "smart" system of abridging would be best. It should try to show whole paragraphs (e.g., if you decided to use 80 words max, and a given post has only four more words until the next paragraph, include those four words even if it pushes it over the "80" desired number).
Also, at least in the dashboard, you should show an abridged summary of the latest unread reply, not the original post. If it is showing in my dashboard, that means I posted to it and so I have been following the story. I know what the original post said, so tell me something I don't know. Perhaps this same thing (showing latest unread post) should be applied to the company pages too, but I am not sure. Maybe on company pages you should show both a summary of the original post followed by a summary of the latest unread reply?
This bring up another point: Does satisfaction keep track of what I've read? This would be a requirement if you were to show me the latest unread reply (because it is not necessary that latest unread reply == latest reply) ;-) -

Please limit topic titles. Last reply on October 16, 2007 16:48.
People are typing their entire problem into the title. That's not how it should work. ;-p
Please limit the length of topic titles, and please put some text like "Hey Company! (brief, one-sentence summary)" above the text box.
Here's an example of the problem I'm talking about: In categories, where can I find transportation that isn't automobile related. Translink, zip car, bicycle for everyday transportation. When I buy a non-sporty fender for my bike so I can ride to work in the rain, even though it's a really small expense, I want to classify it as a transportation expense, not sports. Forgive me if I'm not seeing this. Maybe there is a way I can customize these categories to show the ones that are most relevant to my lifestyle?
