Grouping features + "mark company/product as interesting"
Hi Get Satisfaction team,
I talked about the "faving" of certain topics, answers and comments in another idea, but why not widening this to companies and products?
As there's only the possibility to add or not add a company/product, there's always a slight decision pressure, as I personally don't want to drown in 100s of added products but on the other side don't want to have to search a company or remember concerning which product I'd wanted to make a suggestion. Of course, we all have a brain and Post-It's :D, but maybe my "brain-dead" description goes a little bit in the direction of what could be a problem about it.
So if you could make it possible to "mark company/product as interesting" / "flag for later reference/usage", this would be great! :) These "flagged" items should be on an extra site again of course, where you should be able to: Group the companies / products after certain criterias, which of most I think you can work out yourself. (Of course you could give recommendations here too!) This grouping feature should be available also for the normally added companies / products, because as a user that is e.g. a real hardcore web2.0 geek (I do even have sure enough 100 accounts somewhere at these web2.0 services ;-)), you should be still able to get an overview about all your added companies / products!
You could again work with retractable buttons, checkboxes and of course with re-arrangeable boxes (which represent the groups) as e.g. in "iGoogle" and "MySpace".
Ok, that's it, more than enough typed again...

Inappropriate?Haha, you sure are full of ideas, Philipp. We will be working on ways to express your opinion about companies and products very shortly. The organizational ideas are valuable for our brainstorming process when we get around to designing better tools in the personalized areas/dashboard.
Thanks for sharing your creativity!
I’m thankful

I just want to add, that I REALLY look forward to see that implemented, I'd love to see the "bookmark" / "favorite item" functionality here in Get Satisfaction! =) -
Inappropriate?just wanted to note same/similar idea: A flag to remember a product. It would be very helpful for mainly two reasons: Not being forced to lie when telling "i use this product" having it used just once or twice; And if i stumble upon it first time and want to check it out later.
1 person thinks
this is one of the best points

Thanks for the input, Florian! -
Thanks Florian, for pointing this out. I also think it is mainly about REMEMBERING (without having to use ones own brain for it ;), which is impossible), although I also described it with different terms.
