Recently created topics in Seesmic about Seesmic

This concern was raised by one of our users. I'm creating the solution as an idea so that I can be more easily tracked in the system, as the solution is actually a new feature.

They want the option to only allow people they follow to send them a direct/private message.

What about adding an RSS feed for each user, this will facilitate users to follow certain people and also will make seesmic more useful for podcasters (like me)

Add a search engine so I can find conversations I may be interested in... If there is one, where is it?

The idea is primarily administrative, for Seesmic support staff. The feature request is to set a post to periodically be injected into the Public Timeline, in order to orient new users or remind new users of various features, functions, projects, resources, or other tips for optimizing the Seesmic experience. For example, every 12 hours or 18 hours (in order to reach both day and night shifts) the post that Thomas made, requesting FAQ's from the community, would automatically appear in the public timeline again, to increase the chances of it being seen and offering new groups of users the chance to contribute.

Why do this? Because when posting such a request only once, persistent exposure to the topic is dependent upon the first few minutes of users who either Follow Thomas or happen to spot the post on the public timeline. This is fine for most Seesmic uses, but for certain administrative messages or projects, the standard usage model will tend to allow the message to be lost in the thought stream. Of course, such a feature would need to be used sparingly, so as not to even remotely appear as SPAM to the average user. That said, "insiders" at Seesmic would surely notice the repetition more than others and therefore should be consulted as to suggested tolerable message length and repost frequencies.

Thanks for considering the idea!

I would like to see ya add support for smartphones like the iphone, and the blackberries. Just an idea. keep up the good work.
