I’ll be the guest in the next Micro Monday, catching up with @macgenie on recent Micro.blog improvements and answering your questions! Let us know if you have any questions or topics to cover.

@manton Looking forward to it... Do you have a list of micro.blog features already committed to? Have a few ideas but don't want to suggest things that are already in the works...

@tchambers There's not really a list in one place yet. Don't hesitate to suggest improvements, even if we've already heard them. That helps us prioritize.

@manton not one place? Does that mean you don't give special consideration to folks who take the time to file an issue at GitHub? In that case, hashtags, please.

@tbc Not everyone uses GitHub so we're happy to get feedback anywhere, but I do appreciate it when someone files a bug for us! For hashtags, I wrote a little here about why we don't currently have them. I want to keep expanding search and the Discover sections first.

@manton I agree Search is my top item. Love Discover but hashtags are part of Search for me (tags in general).

@manton curious: what do hashtags add over using blog-style tags, or just searching on a term? Is it the user’s intentionality of contributing to a specific conversation topic, set apart by the inclusion of the ‘#’? Does it make searching easier? (Is there a LMGTFY answer? :)

@jamesdasher Yeah, search/discovery is mostly why people like them, but there are downsides as well. I think there are other ways we can improve discovery.

@artkavanagh @manton @jamesdasher @Marty all good insights re. hashtags. Word of The Day: folksonomy. duckduckgo.com

Then there's the semantic web. Too deep for today. Pun intended. Finding and classifying needs more thought, for sure.
