Should Facebook remove subject lines from messaging system?
- jganetsk 17y agoYes.
- catone 17y agoNo. Facebook messaging is like email... and if you get a lot of messages, subjects can be helpful. The comparison to Twitter doesn't really make sense. It is Facebook status that is like Twitter (and has no subject requirement). Facebook's inbox is not like Twitter.
- jriddycuz 17y agoYou're right. Facebook is not Twitter. Twitter is what happens when you eliminate everything but subject lines. It's a platform for transmitting social MIME headers.
- jparise 17y agoI'm undecided because, while Facebook's message is like email, it doesn't need to behave identically. For example, the mailbox view could simply display the first line or so of the message's content to give the reader context.
- slmbrhrt 17y agoSo whip together a Greasemonkey script and put the choice in the hands of the savvy user. Not the most elegant solution, I know, but it's clear there's a difference of opinion so taking either road would leave someone out in the cold.
