socialmedian introduces "The Mood" -- this is how product development is supposed to work (we think)

Summary

Here at team socialmedian, we think that this is how product development is supposed to work.

Just last week we surveyed a sample of socialmedian users on a range of topics including potential new socialmedian features.

Based on a user's suggestion, we included in the survey the potential new feature of enabling our users to express their "mood" on a story by noting whether they "like" or "dislike" the story. Quite frankly, we had not spent much time on this before and we were not sure how it would perform in the survey.

As you see from the survey results below, "The Mood" scored highest on the survey of potential new features.

Which of the following features would you most like to see us add next to socialmedian? (please select up to 3) [Back to top]

@jasongoldberg So what's next. Just a hint and I promise I'll tell everyone! And where are those T- Shirts. Better make it long sleeved. I have a feeling its going to be a little colder by the time it arrives. I wont say who but someone, just post a comment that they where having more fun here than on FF. Not bad. Buy Google!

@jasongoldberg That's like one of those canned answers. you must be getting ready for an interview. Just don't choke on a question like,Do you think a 500 million dollar salary is excessive? Is that guy a puttz or what? How do you spell "puttz"? I almost forgot , I have a bunch of real question about the Facebook app.

@michaelfidler what a moron. i can't believe he didn't prepare for the hearing by first announcing he was donating most his earnings to charity.

in terms of what's next, i can tell you we are going to be spending a lot of time in the coming weeks on filters and some big things around enabling people to use most of the site without registering. oh, and search.
