Hi Get Satisfaction team,
what I do miss, is a marking of certain companies/products, so that I can see, if they are helpful / useful for me or not. The main usage case for this would be software companies.
The fact, that one mainly uses one OS makes it necessary to know, if the company found here, creates software for Microsoft Windows, the MAC OS X or Linux.
This often isn't somewhere in the company description, which is currently at the bottom of the page anyway. But even more, it would be important to see this instantly and from potentially everywhere I can enter a company space!
That means (proposal):
Please add a Windows/Mac/Linux icons to all software company names / threads, to which this applies and that are e.g. visible via the homepage area "Active companies in Get Satisfaction right now", in the "User's dashboard / Products & Companies" area and to the "Related Topics" view (maybe directly after the topic title).
This way, I could save me the time to often click on companies / products that are - in my case - created e.g. only for Mac OS X.
The icons should be non-clickable, but maybe pop-up a explanation text when hovering over them.
Additional options:
One could add the different mobile phone OS's, like Symbian, Windows Mobile, UIQ etc.
Company creation:
You should be able to check a checkbox containing:
1. First line: Desktop OS's (multiple OS's should be utilizeable of course)
2. Second line: Mobile OS's (poss. additionally to desktop OS's!)
3. Third line: ...anything else?...
These checkboxes could be of course only visible / click-able (otherwise greyed out), if one clicks at another checkbox categorizing the company into a "software company" (or something equivalent) beforehand.
I hope this is a useful idea, thanks as everything for listening to my thoughts.
Kind regards.
