Follow your friends’ submissions on Muti

Muti just implemented a great new feature IMHO. You can add Muti users to your friends and view only their posts. The standard pool of submissions stay as it is, but an additional pool is added where I can quickly filter out everything and see only what my Muti friends submitted by date.

Here is how it works:

Underneath the title of the submission you see the username. Click it.

You’ll see there is a button that says Follow username.

Click it!

Next it will tell you that You are now following username.

Repeat!

To see only your friends’ submissions, you will see a link in your user menu that says “friends posts”. Click it!

You will now see a list of all your friends’ latest posts in date order. So no matter how the votes go, you’ll only and always see your friends’ submissions! Neat! So, if you feel that the voting is getting you down (excuse the pun…) then use this. Same thing, if a certain someone (wink, wink) persist to submit his own “front page of Google” bullshit, simply ignore it by checking out only your friends’ posts!

  Thanks for the write-up Stii.

  For everyone else, the idea for this is actually Stii’s, and comes from something he wrote up a while ago. (linked too in his post). Its a slight variation, Stii’s original idea was to have ignore lists instead of friend lists but the end result is the same.

  Nice coverage Stii. I’ve been playing around with it a little bit and find it pretty useful. I have to say the feature I like a little better (thought still only available for a couple of us) is being updated by SMS when a new story is posted - with the link. It’s too bad that this costs Neville real money to make happen though, as it’s a great service for easily being updated while on the road.

  Imagine being able to be updated via SMS only when certain people you followed (as in your post) submitted an entry. That would be a nice filter. I’m sure Neville is working on that already though.

  Nice one Stii; great idea in the first place.

  How about having the reverse, where you can block out users that only self promote or submit useless junk?

  @imel Yes that was indeed Stii’s original idea and that will be added at some time. The way I see it the more useful filters you can provide, the better. (Stii called this an “ignore list” I think)

  Regards

Spit it out!
