Hey Diaspora* developers
I have an idea, a concept, a proposal for Diaspora*: working with labels for the organization of you incoming messages, only for the organizations of all the incoming items by the user. So you can as user mind mapping the information what you get in your stream.
We have aspects, tags and my activities. very very fine. Now I give you a possibility for a next step: labels. In thunderbird and Opera mail you can place the mails in maps and/or you can give your mails a label, this system works with colors. In Opera, and that’s interesting also for Diaspora*, you can in the left marge click to one label, then you see all the mails what you give that label. So you have your own organization, only for yourself.
Examples.
1. You see any post about music. Very nice. You think: next friday, i have any time for looking all the post what have the theme music, not on this moment, i will me concentrated on another items. You see items about music comes from peoples in our aspects work, friends and your hobby-club.
2. You see any post comes from different aspects, they persons give you in september, after his or her holiday, tips what you can use for your holiday next year. But now in september, you don’t organise your holiday, you do it in January-February next year. All the post what you find between september and February, you give this items the label holiday (example: the green label), in February you have a nice and synoptic information-box for organization your holiday.
3. You see a few of post what you wil give attention, but not now, you are tired and wil to go sleep. You give this items the label blue: “Items for next weekend”.
....
Now you can with “X” items obscure, but for your private organization, there is need to more. Labels is an perfect possibility for that. With labels, you don’t see it, but on tell the truth, so you to do on mind-mapping. The users don’t binding to use this possibility, but so they “can” use this possibility.
I have make a draw, so you have a visualization, maybe this help you for understanding my idea.
Another thing. I am a brand-new user on Diapsora*. I used and to like the opinion of Diaspora* and open source software. I don’t was a Facebook user or user on another social media.
I see on screenshots on the internet, sometimes the aspects you see it in tabs. I like this very handy, very synoptic, its help me for the visualize of organization of my social network. Now, version 4, my pod-administrator update today to version 5.3, i see don’t tabs. Where the tabs in an old version? Why deleted this possibility? You will users give the possibility to combine different aspects on one screen? Make a tab where you can selected what aspects you will see in that tab. You can also to do this for the labels.
Here, I found an example of tabs:

Together we create anything, maybe, together the Diaspora* community created “Labels”! Alone the social media environment Diaspora* have the possibility “Labels”
I hope that I have something in motion with this proposal!
