    !Identica - I want "popular notices not in Persian". My Persian isn't quite fluent (I only know "pyjama", which is Persian for "pyjama").

        I don't understand the semantic difference between RT and "fave". "Fave" is a bookmark… shouldn't RT be used to judge popularity? !identica

          @samatjain I personally fave much more than repeat. repeat is more "hey, have you seen this?", fave is more "nice idea, nice statement"

            @habi How much of a difference is there between the two? I want others to see what I think are nice ideas/statements!

              @samatjain For me, fave usually implies RD. Sometimes I will think “nice, but I don’t think anyone else would be interested”, so only fave.

            @habi Funny, I repeat more than fave, but for the same reasons as you doing the opposite.

          @samatjain my fav is a 'thank you' to the writer. RT is 'you have to read this' to my followers. other explanation: favstar.fm/how_it_works

      All interesting. I'd still like it if in !Identica I could look at the popular notices in a particular language. Non-trivial, I realize.

        @chriswaterguy a good and free translation service would be the ideal solution.

      How about, "Popular among people I follow"?

        @evan would be great as a 2nd option - faves of friends and friends of friends ;) for more inspiration: favstar.fm does it pretty well IMHO.

      I DON'T want that. when (if) I want to see what's popular I want to see what's popular, period. In ANY language.

        Agreed. We should keep in mind that English speakers don't "own" this community, as far as I know.

          @archena Besides, I follow some of these guys, even met some of them. I like to see that here they can (still) post openly and freely.

      For me RD is for things I think are valuable to see, hear, learn, so I share. Words like "popular" are problematic when link is re: torture

      When a Facebook friend shares the death of a relative, I simply can not click on "like"

      @samatjain I too use "fave" primarily as a bookmark

        Why are you not using "bookmark" to bookmark?

          @zoowar It takes too long to search through vast lists of bookmarks; aggregatung by category works better for me

      We *have* both faves and repeats, and we all use them we think appropriate. Adding subcategories would just be clutter, not added value IMHO
