> > - Starred items: Why not just call it favorites?
For such favorite feature in the context of social web, it's unwise to name it as 'favorite', 'like' or 'love' because it indicates emotional attachment. You don't really want to 'favorite' or 'like' an article about an airplane crash that just killed 1000 people in Amsterdam. 'Star' or 'Save' however are neutral. - Alvin On Thu, Apr 2, 2009 at 6:32 AM, Johnny Wooder <[email protected]>wrote: > After playing around with Google Reader, yes it is my first time, I > found it to be an amazing web app. However, I also found some awkward > stuff going on, for example: > > - Add a subscription button: Searching feeds and adding using one > text field?
