"Universal" or "Global" friends vs those within each wiki I join?
Apr 17 2008, 10:23 AM EDT I've noticed that my friends in one wiki I join do not show up under my profile in other wikis I join. I think this relates to having to fill out a separate user profile for each and every wiki I join. It is not too tough to open two browser windows or tabs, and copy most of my profile from one wiki to another, but I saw others questioning why they could not have a universal profile. In some ways, I very much like the separate profiles and friend lists. I have a professional life, a private life, a family life. And I may not want my friends from my work projects (some of those friends are "boss" and "supervisor") seeing that I also am a member of some other wiki I participate in for fun. I am a counselor in the Daily Strength "social networking" site, and I notice that in that site they are a bit too open about telling me what all my friends are doing, and showing everyone all the support groups within Daily Strength that each user belong to. But anyway, the "scope" there is limmited to support groups, and the "hack" if you are concerned is to create a different user profile for each group, or just be anonymous. Here at wetpaint, I can easily imagine one person using these tools for many purposes from private to professional. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |
