Here are two ideas for new features for Dupyshon.com that I've been thinking about:
- Status Updates
Lately I've become intrigued by the concept of microblogging. Often, I feel like I have something worthy of posting on Dupyshon.com, but it's not enough to merit a full post in the DupyBlog. I simply don't have that much to say. Examples might include "My test went well this morning," or "Matlab is not a real programming language." I can also use it to emulate the Facebook status feature. There are a number of microblogging applications out there, but I think I like Twitter the best. If I can do a little hacking on their API, I might be able to integrate it into my website. Then I can replace my GTalk status badge on the Contributors page, and maybe even move it to the homepage.
- Bookmarks
Right now DupyLinks is powered by Blogger. It does its job, but it's a little clunky. In the near future, I might be changing it over to del.icio.us. There are a few reasons that del.icio.us does a better job than what I have now. First of all, it allows for easy posting. All I need is a bookmarklet on my Firefox toolbar. Second, it lets me include comments with links. I can do this with my Blogger setup, but that takes more work. Finally, links are taggable.
Dupyshon.com - always evolving and/or improving and/or giving in to feature creep!
