Hi Mark. Thanks so much for the ello guide- so comprehensive.
I’m not sure if you have delved into ello’s terms and conditions, but I came across a bookmarklet which automatically adds everyone on a page to your noise stream. So, for example, if I was to view your followers or friends I could click the bookmarklet and it would add everyone who I wasn’t already following to the noise stream. I didn’t write it, but I modified it so that it ignores people who are in your friend stream. It adds a delay between each follow so it’s not going to bug ello’s API
I’m not sure what I think about this- it’s a bit of a moral grey/gray area. It reminds me of the early days of Twitter. What do you think? If you want more info on it, I’ll give you the script and tell you how it works.
