i certainly wouldnt mind but i have a bad habit of not checking anything but my replies section , i always thought a separate feed somehow might come in handy or even ( i proposed that once somewhere)
An addition to the U.I. something like a widget / plugin where you can subscribe to registered services who are allowed (as opt-in) to send tweet-sized notifications.
It would require a separate server but i think there's plenty of people here who lose ten servers from their backpocket while running for the bus daily without breaking a sweat.
As it would need registering AND approval by the client it would have zero spam or you could simply disable someone there AND it doesnt even need to be stored on the blockchain, posts have a seven-day span by the system so any message shouldnt need to be stored for more than 30 days or so, a 120 (or 140?) characters the amount of rackspace needed is fairly close enough to zero to be negligible even at a million accounts, even if there were a million active accounts with actual people to it lol (im not opposed to bots, i think bots are essential and it would be a waste not to as the system is basically built for it, not just for it but its inherent to it)
One of the main things i perceived here from the start is that it seemed to me a bit of a closed community, mainly built for people who come into it with money BUT at the same time advertising "you can get money to post" ... so that, from all i saw so far creates a divide that doesnt need to be there and on the other hand the danger with pushing communities to the extreme is that you get walled off sections (a Trumpian wall or something lol) while for any thriving civilization caravans and traders moving between and bringing bits of culture from here to there and back are as essential to society as genetic diversity is for biology (im not preaching eugenics hehe , often mistaken for that by zealots as well)
And the loners ... like it or not (i can be one myself) dont need to have a detrimental effect, my ichiban (prime in japanese) example is Satoshi -the man- himself who cant be accused of being a community builder or public figure as all the cypherpunks involved in the very creation of the foundation of everything you, me and "them" build on here, all the people who take center stage in the spotlight, Justin and Vitalik , Ned and Dan (ned doesnt much spotlight actually) wouldnt be standing there if it wasnt for that pack of outcasts who came together in obscure corners to build this thing that grew into its own concept "blockchain" we all revolve around.
That said : any system (i talk about systems a lot lately its due to a book i read once --- not sure if this one is entirely it as thats business-specific ... but im sure its part of it) in existence (or lets say "known" existence will eventually run out of energy and hence motion -> grow stale without external input so getting the links between the "old" fiat world and planet crypton , sustaining them and giving them not just purpose but utility seems to me to be nothing but essential to the survival of
"the system" ;-)
there i go again ... -> 
actually ... thinking about this, i already have some tab on my site i use to aggregate some accounts to see if there have been replies to it - i think it cant be too hard to adapt it into a more specific one that only displays certain posts from certain accounts with certain tags (but i get a lot of ideas that dont make it into actual production)
"getting around" on steemit isnt the most easy thing, keeping track of everything is like a part-time job (which would be cool if steem were still $10 hahah but its not...)
I'll try to keep an eye out i will, thanks a lot !!!! thinktanks ftw (sponsored thinktanks even better ;-)
Have you made use of Discord app and Gina bot?
i do, i get mails from the bot, i think it was necessary for sbi and votefun among other things, i have a discord too but i dont keep it open, its really hungry and this little celeron pc can't handle all that much :) but i see where you're going there, if you send pms i get a mail ?
its rudyardcatling#3199 if you want, thanks !! (im not the most organized socializer but im trying to keep up with the replies again, i let it slide for a few months there ... c la vie ...
