I have an idea for group notifications..... because most users over time will belong to 25 groups, everyone is probably getting a lot of notices (usually at logon). .... however most notices relate to either a future event, or some form of announcement relating to the group....
but the event related notices are not effective. They give a mention of an event in the future, but users rarely keep track of the events they may want to attend.
Here's what I suggest:
A group notice feature: One would be able to declare a notice as an event notice.. if selected, fields would appear:
Event: (this would be the title)
When: (date & SLT)
Where: (coordinates... perhaps you could even drag/drop a LM)
and then message body.
Then... and most importantly... because this is an event notice, when a user receives an event notice, there is a 'notify' button. (just as there is a notify button when you view an event in search) ... This way, users would receive a notify when the event is going to take place, mentioned in the notice.
good idea? LL, can ya do it?
