How Can We Improve beBee?
Lately someone commented on a buzz saying that many beBee users are actually fake, something inevitable with Social Media overall. This got me thinking of ways we could avert that and make beBee better in the process. So, I can up with this simple idea: if a beBee user doesn't get any meaningful interaction in their posts, the latter get less coverage. What exactly is meaningful though is something that needs to be discussed and later on defined accurately, since this is something different for everyone. However, with the right data from the beBee platform, it is possible to come to a meaningful definition of what is meaningful content and as a result, what is a real profile.
Another thing we could do, and which I talked about briefly with Javier, is to have a "mark as spam" option for posts that are clearly not useful to anyone, other than the person / company that posted them.
This, however, is just one example of something that can be improved on beBee. Since I have a day job, I cannot spend too much time about other things that ought to be added / changed on this platform, but hey, I'm not the only bee who cares about beBee, right? So, what potential improvement opportunities have you identified on this platform and what can we do to tackle the issues behind them?
Feel free to contribute to this endeavor in the comments below, or by sharing this post in hives that you consider relevant. Thanks!in beBee bugs

That's a good (actionable) point. So, why not have the “old beBee” option in the settings, for users who prefer that style, @Javier 🐝 CR ? If mail providers have that for their users, maybe other sites can follow suit :-)

Zac, I just want my feed to look like on the old beBee. New contents always appeared on the top, but contents that generated high engagement were moved to the top.
This post got many comments but still, I have to keep scrolling all way down to find it.
I can't use notifications as a shortcut because once opened they remain closed.

Then again, the ML-based relevance-based feed I suggested previously, would do exactly that, as it would learn from your activity (checking out those particular posts you deem top content) :-)

Ok, maybe team beBee can make a custom feed for you! Personally, I prefer viewing newer articles alongside the more popular/active ones :-)

They will be visible, right behind the top content. 😃

Makes sense. I just took this a step further, since newer articles tend to be low on the relevant count, but may still be relevant to you :-)

Zacharias, by Relevant (or top, or hot) contents I meant posts and articles that attracted many comments and received many likes ("Relevants"). They deserve to appear at the top of the feed. Although there are posts where users make dozens of comments by tagging all their followers. :)

Javier, I meant on the options Facebook offers (three dots at the upper right corner). If a person posts many contents daily, which are not all of my interest, but I don't want to unfollow that person, I can hide a particular post or stop seeing posts from this person for a while. That way, I open up space for other contents to appear on my wall.
I may not use it, but I would like to have that option.

I don't think I could come up with a good enough criterion, to be honest. My suggestion is to create a machine learning system that gradually learns from each user and personalizes their feed accordingly.

No. MeWe has something like that (though much more elaborate) and although cute at first, it gets old very soon. I meant the fitness function for what qualifies as relevant content, for a better quality feed (as previously mentioned)…

I completely agree. I also understand that the “relevant” objectiv function may be a pain to define properly, in a way that's agreeable with everyone. Perhaps opt for an adaptive one? Happy to discuss technical details with the beBee engineers. Cheers

Good morning, @Javier 🐝 CR.
Since I have a full-time day job and family obligations, I don't have much time to spend on beBee. That's why being notified when people I follow published long posts/stories/articles is important to me. I don't agree with Renee that we don't need notifications because their posts are seen in our feed. The feed is constantly updated with new contents, and if I don't visit beBee regularly, I'll miss seeing contents from people I interact with regularly. And I don't want to open their profile constantly to see if they published a new post. :)
Also, we should be able to arrange our feed by the “hide this content” button/option.
The contents in the feed are now ordered chronologically. We should also be able to sort contents by relevance, which means that contents with most comments and “relevants” appear at the top of the feed.
That's it for now.
Regards

about “There is little incentive for someone to build their network if their content is not very visible or if the people they follow don't decide to follow them back. Perhaps if a new user posts a blog or comments on someone's post, they can be promoted as suggested people to follow, particularly if there is some common interest in a subject matter. For example, if Mary makes a comment on a post about cats, then anyone else who shows an interest in similar posts would become a mutually suggested follower. So, if I shared a cat video, picture or blog, or if my profile says I love animals, then beBee would suggest that we follow each other.”
1.- Long posts / stories / articles, we are about to send notifications so that no follower misses it. This will undoubtedly be available in the next few days.
2.- Now short posts aren't very visible. We are already working on a tool to make them visible, be it text, photos or whatever, and we will also include hashtags. This functionality is going to take us a few weeks of time, but it is going to be very powerful. CC @Rafael García Romano @Noël De Castro @Alberto Landeras

The group owner communications would also be very valuable. It would great if there were also other roles in a group (e.g., editor), especially for the larger groups. In any case, I enjoy the groups of beBee more than those on other platforms, plus the whole dynamic of them makes them a useful tool for promoting stuff to the most suitable audience. Cheers

Thanks for the tag, @Javier 🐝 CR. I certainly do have some ideas on platform functionality, and also on the management of groups, but I really need a few or more days to formulate them, after I have a good long think and after I've consulted my previous comments and notes, going back some time. I believe that the most appropriate way to present these ideas, while keeping them as visible as possible to others, might be by publishing a separate post in the ‘beBee bugs’ group. I would encourage others on your list to do the same, in order to maximise visibility and clearly indicate a submission, as comments are only readable on the new platform after opening up the post. I would also suggest that you widen your invitation (listed in #31 below) for feedback to include @Pascal Derrien and @Franci 🐝Eugenia Hoffman, beBee Brand Ambassador.

Thank you Javier. Apart from the stuff I mentioned in the article (some of which may not be as necessary now), I'd suggest a limit of materials from any given in someone's feed. For example, if poster X is happy to post 10 articles or short buzzes a day, it's good to not have all of them on the feed. We may still get a notification about the additional articles/buzzes somewhere, but not view them unless we click on that link…

I have re-read this information from @Zacharias 🐝 Voulgaris
It would be great if you could please include here the functionalities you would include in beBee, something you think is needed, or any other idea or suggestion you can think of is welcome. I promise to read and evaluate all the ideas.
I would also like to know what features you would provide to the administrator of a group, so that more people are encouraged to create a group. I am thinking for example that the owner of the group can address whenever he wants to his members, also by email through beBee.

Perhaps a "hide this kind of posts" feature, using NLP and ML algorithms on the back-end, could help help remedy this. I too would like to have less of this kind of posts on my feed.

That's a very good point, Chris. Perhaps if there were a "comment summary" feature in the future, this would help tackle this matter.
