Titles in AskMe

February 8, 2005 8:33 AM

Maybe this was covered and I missed it, but why do individual AskMe threads not have unique titles? When I bookmark a Metafilter thread, it has a unique title but when I bookmark an AskMe thread, I have to change the title.

Without trying to be snarky, it is because Ask MeFi is in beta

Having titles on the AskMe threads would be great for those using the RSS feed.

It is? I had no idea. It's working fine so I assumed it was a completely integrated part of MeFi.

The word beta is just a crutch, riffola!

I hope this isn't too unrelated, but I'm currently developing a web application that allows you to bookmark/organize MeFi posts:-

MeFi Bookmarks

It will allow you to collect a load of bookmarked posts and be able to view them all on one page. I will make a Meta post about this in a week's time when I'm allowed to make posts (I'm new here!).
