   @gbhnews Lots of folks won't follow you unless you CW.

   This isn't as stupid as it might sound. Folks want to control *when* they see news (not the lighthearted stuff, maybe, but the stuff that might make them down). And folks want to boost news, but their followers will certainly complain if it's not CWd – after all, they didn't follow you.

   CWing a post isn't hiding it. It's almost a reflex to click on it. It just stops you seeing it out of the corner of your eye.

   My 10c.

     @fishidwardrobe interesting. We have separated more serious updates from the more lighthearted poll already. Let me think it through...
