The activity feed on your profile only shows YOUR activity.. the activity feed in the dashboard shows ALL your friends OR the sites activity... drawing you in to conversations... peeking your interest on what other people are up to. Getting you involved in ideas and conversations you may have otherwise never seen. Do you use facebook? That's the number one reason facebook got where it is.. because they were the first to really have and master the activity feed. phpFoX is on the road to doing this see more properly.. as is social engine.. but boonex/dolphin has seemed to leave it out entirely (what I like to think of as most important these days). All these modules (polls, gallery, blogs, forums, etc) are all useless if members aren't drawn to them. People LIKE posting things on facebook because they KNOW all their friends are going to see it and comment on it. I don't waste my time posting things on sites where I think they will never be noticed.. What's the use of expressing myself? Social networking these days is all about activity feeds and notifications.. Dolphin seems to have the notifications part down.. but notifications are of no use if no one (or less people) view the content in the first place. Do you get the picture now? I hope I made sense to you in my ramblings.
