Looking for opinions again, this time on push vs. pull

[jducoeur]

I've just posted another topic on and about CommYou; check it out in CommYou. Again, I'm interested in hearing from folks about this, because I may be over-thinking things here. Opinions welcomed and encouraged, either there or here...

I have wanted that third tier on LJ for a while. I can track the conversations I want to follow, and I can scan back on my friends page to see if there are new comments on posts I was more casually interested in, but the latter becomes a hassle if there are too many posts where I don't care. Filters are per-user, not per-post, so they only help to the extent that interesting threads correspond to interesting posters. If I could mark an entry as "done with this" for purposes of the friends page, while still having it available via the journal (or an "everything" view) if I really wanted it, I would be less likely to miss interesting comments on posts from yesterday (which is forever in LJ time, it seems).

Approximately, anyway. The CommYou Summary View doesn't *quite* map to the LJ Friends page, although they're quite similar in practice. And the core notion of "ignore" is exactly "Don't keep notifying me; I'll go back and look manually if I care later"...
