SiteLog, User Settings and Relationships
Forums:
We have instituted a new module called "Heartbeat".
Heartbeat is a Site-Activty-Log system, that logs all activity on the site. When I post a Status, when you post a blog, etc, it all shows in the activity log.
The new "Activity Settings" are basically a set of Privacy Controls that will control what normal users can/will see in the activity log.
The goal of this new system, is to allow a newer, upgraded level of privacy compared to the current "Track" system which is visible to every logged in user currently.
As I said our ultimate goal is to add a new level of privacy. This SiteLog/Heart Beat system integrates with our new User Relationships module, which allows you to request Friendships (2 way approval required) or become a Fan of another user (one way relationship, no approval needed).
Once you have Fans and Friends you can allow Friends or Fans or the General Public or No One, access to the type of Activity Log updates at your discretion.
