Following users UI reset: manton.org
@manton “a list of who someone is following that you aren’t following already” is perfect. That way it displays exactly what it says (if worded appropriately). Solves the discovery problem without confusing an existing well know feature. Kudos!
@manton So basically we'll be seeing the Not-Following Followers on others profile. I like it. It deters even the remotest "follow-back” behavior
@manton To take it further, why even mention the number of followers that I am not following on their profile? How does it matter if that number is 10 or 200?
@pratik It doesn't really matter, but I think including the number helps make it more clear what you're going to get when you click on it.
@manton Noticed it this morning and loved it. I think you've hit on the best implementation of 'who is this person following'.
@pratik You're right, and I considered that, but in this case the numbers are something you control and an invitation to follow more people. I think it's okay.
What a great idea @manton! I really like how it shows the people you aren’t following. For some reason that didn’t occur to me but I think it hits the nail on the purpose of the feature.
@kitt Some folks are born collectors and the most tortured of those souls are the completists. Ha ha. :)
@kitt I've known a few in the Bob Dylan community. Fortunately I've been a collector, but managed, so far, to avoid the curse of the completist.
@kitt is following 263 users I am not following ... ok - now we know that the matrix is broken.
