Hrmbl. Agreed. Repeat is not really right. "Point at" makes sense but is unusual. "Shout" is web2.5ish.
I still fail to see a real usecase for this behaviour anyway. IMHO whatever I do should be in my timeline. So I would always see it as a new notice. For space saving identical notes could be reduced to a link, but at leat the time difference of the OP and my "re-minding" is an important statistical info that I would like to collect. "Remind my friends" is a good term though!

To me, "repeat" still says that it'll get sent out a second time, but what it's doing is more like "share this with my subscribers who haven't seen it yet". How about "Share"? (If we're really ambitious, that could then fold out to options whether to share to other services with a repost, or just to your local friends.) -- brion vibber (brion @ status.net) _______________________________________________ StatusNet-dev mailing list StatusNet-dev@lists.status.net http://lists.status.net/mailman/listinfo/statusnet-dev _______________________________________________ StatusNet-dev mailing list StatusNet-dev@lists.status.net http://lists.status.net/mailman/listinfo/statusnet-dev
