Sharing suggestions between similar blogs
Since my experience with making readers suggest... well sucks. I was lazily thinking how to boost up number of suggestions.
1. Let owners tag their blog with topics.
2. Let owners receive suggestions made in blogs on same topics (optional).
For example I tag my blog as "freeware" and "portable" in settings. If someone makes suggestion to some other blog marked as "freeware" or "portable" I get that suggestion as well. Probably with visible note where it was suggested.
Bloggers are happy because they get lots of suggestions and lots of opportunities to link and connect with other bloggers.
Readers are happy because they get multiply articles and answers to their suggestions.
Extension of idea - let readers suggest to topic instead of specific blog. Readers asks "I need software for..." and all blogs with "software" tag get that suggestion.

The best points from the company

Rarst,
The groups feature is available - we currently don't have any direct links to it on the site. That'll be coming shortly, we wanted to have some groups created before doing so. Give it try and let us know what you think.

As for a roadmap - that's a good idea. How about making a suggestion about it on our blog ;)

Thanks for the post Rarst. We are one step ahead of you and have already started coding some similar functionality. :-) One of these features is groups and will be available soon (weeks) and we have a much larger idea to connect users and that will be coming in the next few months.

Inappropriate?Good. :) It seems I should really nap it till next version. As it is now Skribit feels a lot like very nice hammer without nails to hit.
Maybe you could post some roadmap? And slap "really beta" on your logo. *evil grin* No offence, me bothering with feedback and ideas shows how much I really like core idea. :)
I’m slightly snarky

Inappropriate?Created portable software group for a test.
Sending invites to join group erases group description if it wasn't saved previously. I typed description, then emails, hit send and description poofed.
Field for group decription is bit short (you can type more but it gets cropped).
Are groups getting separate widgets? Or page version only?
I’m cool

Inappropriate?Yeah - sending invites is a different submission than update group information, maybe we should put that on another page.
The group description field will be much longer in the next release.
A groups widget is a good question... I wonder if people would use that in addition to the personal one (that's a lot of widget real estate). We're definitely looking into different ways of promoting the groups functionality.
-
Inappropriate?Maybe make combined widget? Like I choose in widget settings groups I belong to and person making suggestion by widget chooses where to make it - to my personal page (default) or to one of the groups.
