Not sure I fully understand what you are trying to ask.

If this functionality were available, instead of subscribing to all the content, users would be able to subscribe for questions from a single author - or more than one.

Wow, great idea. We hadn't thought of this one.

Don't you let the ball drop, Aaron! =)

I wouldn't like to see Ask500People "plagiarized"...

=D

Hey baccioly - just letting you know we're rolling out this feature this week. :)

Awesome!!!

I think that's a good idea. Part of the RSS feed I would think.

wow! this sounds interesting. not sure yet what it brings/serves, but good point to think about! nice one.

I suppose the idea would be if someone always asked great questions, you might want to subscribe to that person, so you'd know when one of theirs was running.

Exactly!

yeah, got that. sounds cool on the first spontenous reaction, but I was trying to figure out if it really adds something, if it takes something away, if it makes people than rely only on their "subscriptions" and not answer other questions spontanously just becaus it is running at the moment... ecc.

I understand...

Some people keep saying RSS drives users away from the actual website.

I, for one, can't share this concern.

And, as the RSS would be assembled by the software, you could always insert something like "Related Questions".

I think the idea could fly...

The real concern I have is Usability and User Experience, but Aaron and his team seem to have handled that very well so far.

Anyway, the people have spoken =D

Good food for thought. One of the next phases for the app is to build out the tools so that people can a) use the site however they'd like and b) they can build on top of the platform we're building.

:-) you people rock! cheers.

Sounds GREAT! =)

huh???
