Improvement ideas

Had a meeting with James Sherratt, one of our test student bloggers yesterday. He's already given some good feedback in entries on his blog, but we came up with some more ideas yesterday.

• Tip of the day to help new users discover features
• Improved aggregation, making it far more personal
• Let users choose interests which would be published on their about me page and help the aggregation show more of what they are interested in
• Encourage people to categorise their entries more (not sure how)
• Emphasise the community aspects of blogging. Could be done through course/residences aggregations
• Improved privacy, make it more obvious that things can be restricted to prevent Google from embarrassing you!

I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff, I'll have to add to this as I remember.

All in all very useful to get a real student users perspective on things.
