I'll admit it, this is a shameless throw-away diary. I'm planning a real diary entry later this week and I want to test drive.
Despite fear and loathing of anything new and different, I'm not hating DK4. I use it much as I did the old version.
1. Check front page/recommended headlines and read whatever I'm interested in.
2. Check my page/comments to see if anyone responded or recommended any of my old comments. Follow up as necessary. It would be nice if clicking on my page could default to comments instead of stream since my vanity depends on my comments being recognized.
3. New: check my stream to see what the people/groups I'm following are up to. Read/comment where appropriate.
4. New: check my messages and realize nobody has anything to say to me.
I finally figured out that even though recent diaries don't appear on the front page any more, I can still click on Diaries at the top and see what's not showing up on the Recommended or Recently Recommended lists. This is where my diaries will appear, so I need to get to know it and love it.
Is there a new mobile app? DK4 is pretty hard to read on my android, though I can login which is a new feature.
If anybody reads this, will you please comment? It would be helpful to know if anybody's reading diaries that don't show up on the front page. And of course I'll be happy to reciprocate.
