Unclear which service a post is from #42

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

I post to more than one service at the same time (or I try to: see issue
#40).  A fair number of my friends do the same.  When the same post appears
multiple times from different services, there is no indication on the
timeline as to which service the post has been made from.

Any suggestions on how I might indicate it?  There's not a lot of space to work 
with :/

You could either do it with icons or textually... or both!

Most of the services that you currently support have favicons - 16x16 pixels, 
which
could fit in the bottom-left of the main avatar.

This favicon could also appear on the right-hand side menu or the context menu 
as a
new top entry, showing the icon and the service name to which it relates.

There are other possibilities, like vertically to the left of the avatar, but 
I'm
guessing that will be far more complex.

If you want to tell if it's from identi.ca or from twitter, you can tell by 
looking
at the right menu already.  identi.ca doesn't have direct replies or favorites 
(yet,
I know they're working on favorites soon).

The favicons idea is nice, but only covers one part of the problem.  If I do 
it, I
want to be able to indicate which account it's from, not just which service.  
Maybe I
can use the account's profile avatar somewhere. . .

How about the same space that you use for the time stamp, in the same small font
size. You can fit both on the same line if they user has options for both 
turned on.
