17 years ago at Apr 5 20:44 - I noticed this area is rarely used, mainlybecause it is such a small subject. I though I'd make a subject for it.
Tell everyone what you love(or hate) about Listal. This thread might be something good to look at for many reasons.
1) Meet the requirements of what somebody wants(Mainly contributers)
and
2) to show the newcomers what Listal is all about and the many good points(or bad -__-) of Listal!

The listing aspect of Listal is one of its primary strongpoints. The list system will likely have great improvements in the future, but even now it's a factor of intimidation to messy list systems used by domains like Amazon.com. Those guys'll be begging for listing support from us before long.

The item pages are very grand with everything you'd need for an item. Many particular things will be improved upon in due time, but I'd hate to see this place turn into an all-information source with little social dynamics. All this other stuff we've been doing, like cleaning up the Games section, are just odd jobs to make it shipshape and ready for focus on its real purpose - to connect people through the things they love. A few suggestions I have to improve upon this are:
1. Gamer tags. It can be profile information, apart of the 'Games' box. The systems you play online to the left, the gamertag you use for each to the right. You can view others' tags for a list of games they play with them, since a tag for a whole system doesn't go into such specifics.
2. I don't know if feeds are managed here, but how about an ability to favorite a reviewer or lister? Who knows what could happen if people see others that prefer reviewers they themselves buy into, or listers whose creativity they also admire?
3. A friend flag. Like 'Looking' on MySpace, except without any romantic connotation. If you join a website and immediately want to find people whose interests are in common with yours, you could submit a flag like 'castlevania' and before long you'd get a message from yours truly! It'd work like so: First you create a flag for your profile, then (in the vein of a tag) you can check the flag's page for others that are either looking or believe in TLW - potential friends - and hit them up. In a way it'd be like 'Interests', but with clear intent to meet others.
