Terminology: tracking

[rho]

I've been looking again at tracking/notifications/subscription/ESN and thinking some more about terminology. What I'd said originally was that we were going to use "tracking" to refer to this, but looking at it again now, I'm not sure that's right.

I'm thinking that we should tracking specifically for referring to tracking of comments/entries, but use notifications in a more general sense. So for instance, you would receive a notification when someone adds you to their circle or you might receive a notification when someone comments on an entry you're tracking, but you wouldn't track people adding you to their circle. The inbox would still be referred to as the inbox, so all notifications would go to the inbox, and you also have the option of having them emaiiled to you.

Does this seem sensible to people?

Yes, very much so.

Sounds logical. :)

I like this plan, sounds better than "tracking" your friends. "Are you tracking this entry?" "Yes, I get notifications from this entry." Or, "Yes, I get notifications when someone adds me to their circle."
