So if you see this diary in the "Recent List" ignore it... at least in Markos' world.
He's all about the DIARIES LIST...
Markos proclaimed last night that he was WRONG about diaries last night.
Yet the dude dosen't even seem to know what the "Diaries" tab does
Christ. Markos actually wrote this post last night:
I was wrong about diaries ♥
What I like more is that I can now get a much truer sense of what's driving the community. In the past, site culture demanded a single diary about any breaking news. If someone wrote a duplicate, even if it approached the issue from a different angle, people would demand it be deleted.
Now, I can get a feel for how hot and important a story is to the community by how many people decide to write about it, and I'm already seeing a broader diversity of opinion on various topics, since we all bring our unique perspectives to the news.
I love it, and truth be told, I didn't expect to. In fact, I didn't expect that Diaries section to be all that valuable. I was wrong. It's now a key destination for me.
O.K.
Soak that shit in yo.
Let's dig a little deeper.
So I went to the man... and asked him about my confusion.
Kos had a deep seeded hatred for the recent list
Not to sound like a Dick myself....
But you were kinda "Dickish" about peoples concerns.
Unlike Glenn Beck at least you're able to admit when you're wrong.
Obviously I completely misinterpreted Markos... He quickly responded:
Oh, don't get me wrong (0+ / 0-)
I'm no fan of the recent list.
I'm not praising the recent diaries list. I'm praising how kick ass the Diaries section has become.

Huh???????????????
Really?
Does that make any sense to anyone who has used the new site?
I had two quick responses here , and here
The main point I wanted to make was this very out of touch response from KOS.
Oh, don't get me wrong (0+ / 0-)

Seriously Markos... you don't get how your own website works.
As I told Markos:
when you said:
how kick ass the Diaries section has become.
Did you mean the capability of seeing the most rec'd diary of the day, week, month, or all time?
Because these are your options:
Recent Diaries
Most Recommended (Today) This Week - This Month - All Time
Most Commented (Today) This Week - This Month - All Time
Most Hotlisted (Today) This Week - This Month - All Time
Apparently Markos would like to annihilate the 'recent list'
I really don't know how Markos expects the rest of us to post, recommend, or discover anything here... so they can even make it to the the most recommended diary of the week, month, or year.
HOORAY for somebody... Markos needs to stop thinking like an overlord... and like a blogger again. Just long enough to listen to those of us that actually use this site.
