Tip on replying in Tips and Tricks

There's something on Facebook that drives me batshit crazy. You leave a comment to someone who has, oh, like 500 "friends". And for the rest of time and all eternity, you get notified whenever somebody else comments on the post you commented on. I'm sure there's a way to switch these notifications off but I haven't ever bothered to find it.

So in designing Prosebox, I decided to limit comment notifications only to the person you are replying to. Cool, right?

But I've noticed there's a natural tendency for people to reply to their own comments. If you think of something else to say and then add another reply, it's usually in reply to the comment you are adding on to.

Ah, but as far as Prosebox is concerned, at this point you are having a conversation with yourself. In fact, it will happily notify you that you have a new comment from you. If you have multiple personalities, this is a really cool feature.

But for most people, it's probably not what you want. If you want multiple comments to show up in a person's comment listing, be sure to reply to their comment directly each time and not your own. :)
