3D Warehouse questions
-
I have a couple of basic questions about the 3D warehouse:
1 - Can you track updates to the comments and ratings on your models? I do not get many ratings or comments so it would be nice to track via RSS or something when some one says something nice (or horrible) about my work.
2 - Can you see more about user than the current context? It I click on a user's name from the comments, I see just their other reviews and comments. If I click on their name from a model, I just see their other models. If I click on their name from a collection I just see ... well you get the idea. Is there nowhere you can go to see a user's profile and their models, collections, ratings and everything else about them?
It's really hard to get a sense of community in the warehouse when you can't really work out some one's credentials.

Both answers: "No, not yet"
- The RSS feeds for searches (for example search a user, sort for date) are quite new. Google sabotaged my own development. Just after I put much efforts in developing a Firefox extension for this, they made the RSS feeds. So I also thought of making a feature to see all new ratings, but I won't risk it anymore.
RSS feeds for comments and ratings have been proposed in the Sketchup group, so we don't know if the will do it or when or if tomorrow.
- Has also been proposed. Currently the only possibility to get more info about a user is to use the contact feature on the model page. Some modelers have a collection of their models where they have a good description text about themselves.

Aerilius - Thanks for taking the time to replay - it seems that Google is missing an opportunity to foster community among users of the warehouse - bummer.

Google must have been listening - today it seems they've enabled a link in the 3D Warehouse from your models to see your profile. A step in the right direction me thinks? eg: http://www.google.com/profiles/TheOtherMartinTaylor#
