Create an area where we can see all the recent links people are uploading.
I have no idea what sort of links people are uploading and this means I miss a lot of opportunities to find something very interesting or helpful to me.
The only two ways I know of to discover links on Tagpacker is to follow someone and hope they have some that I need and hope that they are still active and uploading more so I get notified about them, or I have to sit there at the monitor and think up words to search for.
Other link sharing sites have this type of feature and I find it very resourceful. There are so many things in this great big world of ours to discover and read about but I feel excluded from it all here on Tagpacker, as if we each in a room with no windows and doors to see out of.
Don't get me wrong, I like Tagpacker and I'm planning on sticking around; I got 5,000+ links to upload and I am doing them one by one so I can tag them all the way I like -- but I get bored doing that quite easily because it's very mundane work and time consuming so I like to take breaks once in a while and it would be neat to see what else is getting added to Tagpacker whether I follow those people or not.
We had this feature for a while.
But some “people” (or bots) used it to post spam links. So we decided to disable it.
However, as we also think it’s an important feature we should find a way to exclude spam links from “the global link stream”.
Any thoughts on this?
We thought about somethink like trending links or trending tags.
