We've just implemented a new feature that allows you to save stories for future reference. This makes it easier to find those stories you really wanted to bookmark for later while still allowing you to vote up stories you want to support or draw attention to.
My take on negative voting on FSDaily
It has been suggested by one of our prominent community members that the use of negative votes should be confined to demoting spam. As the individual responsible for the introduction of negative voting on FSDaily, I feel I should explain my rationale for its inclusion and provide my tips on negative voting.
New FSDaily feature: community blogs!
If you are registered member of FSDaily and are logged in, you will see a new option next to "My account"... that's right - you now have your very own FSDaily blog account. If you have something free software related to tell the community go ahead and post it.
Here's what we hope to see:
Hidden feature: Live Discussions
No doubt many of our regular readers have already discovered this feature of FSDaily, but for those who haven't...
Welcome to the new and improved FSDaily
Hello dear readers,
We have just finished the cross-over from our old site, which ran on Pligg, to our new site which runs on Drupal + some of our own custom modules.
"Free software related news" OR "news for the free software community"
I've been thinking about this whole "free software related" thing.
I am starting to think that rather than the focus of FSDaily being on "free software related news", it makes more senseto be focussed on "news for the free software community".
FSDaily crosses 1000 user mark!
We have reason to celebrate because FSDaily recently crossed the 1000 user mark! This is great news because we have only been up and running for 3 months and have only been advertising on Free Software Magazine. So word of mouth must be working well.
We hope that you continue to spread the word and invite other members of the free software community to join in. The only way we can have fair, unbiased, free-software-related news is if the whole community joins in and has their say.
Speaking of participation: of the 1000+ people who have joined very few actively vote, even less comment and, fewer still, submit stories themselves. For this project to succeed we really need as much participation from the community as possible.
