If Fluther had the function to display the online status of all jellies each time they logged in, like on Facebook, what do you think would happen?

I think this was brought up before and one answer was—>“Go to Facebook”

Eh. We have the chat room, which has this feature. Good enough for me.

Mine would strobe. I’m in and out all the time, rather randomly.

I don’t see how it’d be useful though :/

It’d be a secret giggles

I don’t see what good would come from this. Only a stalker would be happy.

Probably not a lot different than PM’s only quicker.

I think it would just confuse people as to the purpose of the site. We are a Q&A site. While there is a very social feel because of our smaller community, we are not a social networking site. I don’t really see a reason for having such a feature.

Not sure it would make so much of a difference. I don’t pay attention to people on FB who are online or not, so I wouldn’t here, either. Some may feel different.

Nothing in particular would happen. It’s kind of like getting an answering machine…it doesn’t mean they aren’t home.

Since I own a laptop for myself, I’m logged in all the time. I only have to enter in my info once every few months when Dr. J randomly logs me out.
