  • From my ignorant point of view Microsoft had in its very own hands a solid competitor to Facebook but ended doing absolutely nothing with it.

    I still can recall the MSN/Hotmail profiles - it was kind of a news feed that recorded all your statuses from MSN (or you could add your own there). Your contacts could add comments on those. I seem to recall at some point you could add posts with pictures too.

    But all of that just disappeared when they ditched MSN.

    They could’ve beat Facebook in its own game easily, as they had the advantage of their huge userbase - but somehow they missed on that too.


  • It’s been great to be honest.

    I just wish there was a couple features for when creating a submission or a comment:

    1. Picture drag and drop - when adding a picture to a submission, you could add it by dragging it and dropping it to the dialog that shows up to pick a picture (also maybe adding a picture by its URL address would be great);
    2. When replying to a comment, you could create quoted text directly by selecting the text from the comment you’re replying to, so said selected text will show up as quoted in your text input area when you hit the reply button - Reddit does this and it’s a nice feature to have versus copying, pasting and editing it so it turns to a quoted text
