I've just added this post on MLO Facebook page asking about your top wishes in MyLifeOrganized:

I would be happy to see your comments for this Facebook post mentioning two IMPORTANT things:  

1) What do you like most about MyLifeOrganized? (don't forget to tell this first please! :-) )
2) What are the top three enhancements you would like to see? (please limit to three)


And I will try to answer every comment on Facebook.

Sincerely,
Andrey Tkachuk, CEO and Founder

Maybe I am a dinosaur, but I am not on facebook and I don´t intend to change that - I don't think I have to explain why. So I would be happy to see other possibilities to join the discussions.

1.
Although I have posted some suggestions FB as requested, I do hate FB with a passion and would much prefer something - anything! - else.
Fwiw, because I value my privacy I tend to set up special temporary identities which I eventually delete, just for this sort of purpose. But it's exceedingly inconvenient.

2. 
This group is now confusing for new users, because there is a thread that is pinned at that top called "How to suggest new MLO features". Is what is says still applicable or not? It talks about mlo.uservoice.com which from what I can see is looking swamped with old, out-of-date requests and not working very well. My suggestion is to either unpin (and delete??) that thread or at least pin this FB one if that is now the new way to make requests.

I am never on Facebook. Sometimes I think the world would be better without it.
Having an account I decided to post there anyways, but since we do have https://mlo.uservoice.com where people can actually *gasp* vote on features so it is clearly visible what users want instead of trying to compile that manually from a list of Facebook posts would make more sense to me. But then I am more into tech and automation than being social.
Say...did MLO maybe forget that https://mlo.uservoice.com exists? Sometimes it seems that way...

Neither am I. I agree that I'm better off without it, and I won't log in to my old account for MLO. If they really want our feedback they'll make a better choice available.

The problem with uservoice is that it has been there too long and the requests are out-of-date. This is disheartening for new users whose votes simply disappear into a sea of out-of-date votes. And presumably most of the requests still there are for things which MLO has decided not to go ahead with, but they are at the top of the voting rankings. Also not encouraging!

Moreover, from what I could see, if the user is voting on completely different software as well their 10 votes get used up by any votes for the other software, which seems bonkers.

I suggest all old votes on uservoice are archived off and that MLO starts again there from fresh, with a new account if necessary. Or a use a different voting site completely. 

Either way a decision is needed! And whatever the result is should be reflected at the top of this Google Group.

Andrey, I think you need to be consistent and actually direct people to your UserVoice site where feature requests should be made. I'm sure referring people to Facebook draws attention toward MLO but you could post the announcement on FB and then include a link to your UserVoice website. Just my thoughts.

FB would also be useful for collecting info from customer profiles, which is valuable to better target marketing to customer demographics.

Well, that's the point though. UserVoice is supposed to be maintained. That's not the fault of the users of MLO who used it. They went there thinking they were posting features in a system that was going to be maintained. The least Andrey could do is to close it down if he's not going to use it instead of having it sit there only to confuse people. To me, using it is smarter because you have people post features and then the he could easily see which features poeple wanted most. That doesn't mean they would or could be implemented. OneNote is using UserVoice and it seems to work wonderfully for them.

Nah, Uservoice has a fatal flaw. New ideas get lost at the bottom of the list, before they have a chance to gain any votes. There has to be a better option than that.

That's much better than feature requests being thrown all over the place and being duplicated in a Google groups forum. I didn't say UserVoice was perfect. Just better than the current choice. However, as someone else mentioned, it would need a lot of upkeep and Andrey doesn't have the team to do that so I can understand why UserVoice wouldn't be a good solution in that respects.

I agree with Stéph regarding UserVoice's fatal flaw.

One more plug for GetSatisfaction: it combines some of GGroups and
UVoice: If you post an idea, question or suggestion it works a lot like
GGroups. But if you post an idea, it opens voting. Everyone can vote on
the idea, so it measures which ideas are popular without trying to say
whether the latest popular idea is better than last year's popular idea.
By being integrated with the discussion space you get to skip all the
discussions about where the voting lives and how to get there from here.

Big drawback of GSat: They will not reveal the cost, which means it's
too much.

If someone wanted to reinvigorate UserrVoice here are two ideas:
1. Double the limit on votes, and let everybody know that they have new
votes to cast.
2. Even better. cancel all already-cast votes and tell everyone that
voting has been restarted.

Dwight +1

GetSatisfaction sounds promising but if expensive I suggest the way to reinvigorate everything would be to archive the whole UserVoice account and start again. 

Many of the suggestions are out of date and as discussed it's extremely disheartening for new comments to just get lost in a sea of historic stuff.

PS Btw, if I am correct I seemed to only get 10 votes to cast across multiple software brands which seems both bonkers and irritating.
