One of the possible over looked tools is the ability to create list. I have a few different ones, and I add people every now and then, I am still building my list out. One of the list items I have is witness type, I add the witnesses that I run across from my feed and resteems, and community views.
- Now what is the purpose of a list?
- What good does it do me?
- It seems complicated.
For a curator the use of list and favorite authors could be a boon to them. You do not need to be following someone to add them to your list. If you are cruising the Hiveways of the all accounts and run into an account you want to check out in more detail before following just add them to a list. You can then surf the list you created just like the Following Feed, Community Feed, Favorite Feed, choices. Complicated it is not, just click the three dots after the re-blog symbol and choose add to list. A very handy tool, and you are the only one that can see your List, or you Favorite Authors, and you do not need to be officially following them, simply shadow follow them.
I am a real fan of the peakd interface.
