messages

i think if we want to send one message to all of our freinds it would take to long so if we had somthing that would send the exact same message to all of our freinds.

This would help on community projects aswell. I'm infamous for my 'Please Nominate' messages which involves a lot of Ctrl/Apple V-ing!

I would like to implement some kind of method of sending out mass messages but using blogs or status updates instead.

A blog hosted here on listal? Wow that would be an awesome feature. Would take Listal to another level. What exactly have you got in mind?

that would be cool, like forwarding messages to people

I wanted to add blogs for a long time but was put off due to the fact there a million other sites where you can blog. I think it would be good to have different ways of communicating though and with the update feed it can be integrated with that. Another option is adding twitter like micro blogging which also would be integrated into the feed updates.

I think that would be a very good idea, the idea of a microblog especially appeals. Sometimes I'm content with just rating an item but in some cases I may want to say a few words about it 'twitter-style' but not want to do a full form IMDB-style review. I realise I could use the review function to in effect microblog my movies but because points are awarded for this the point nazis would be soon on my case.
However given that the focus of this site is the media you own or use it'd be better if the blogging could be kept to that, we don't want for example random blog posts about your cat/dog/goldfish. It would detract from Listal's focus which is social catalouging. Maybe a link in each media item to 'blog this' or 'microblog this'. Maybe we need a suitably web 2.0 term to describe this sort of blogging on Listal? Though what that would be I have no idea.
