Notes vs Private Notes vs messages...??
Ning To Jamroom
brian:
I'm not sure what you mean - can you clarify? If you mean does sending a user a private note post a timeline update, then no - they get an email letting them know they have received a new private note (unless they have disabled the new private note notification in their notification preferences).
I was expecting it to work like that. Also, I understand there is an option to allow members to message any other member, or only those who are following, based on a global admin setting.
What I'm wondering is, does the followers list serve any other function, besides providing an option to restrict messaging.
For example, can followers ALSO receive your timeline updates like Twitter? Can they be sent "Newsletters" Reverbnation style, or content shares like Ning had a share button where you could share a video (for example) with all your friends.
I can definitely live without all of that stuff - I'm just curious if anything else is currently tied to the followers list.
