having your voice heard

Late last year, some people from Opera ASA came to Bucharest. They arranged a meeting for fans.

Naturally, I went. I took me eight hours to get there by train, stayed there for eight hours and then rode the last train back to Timisoara for another eight hours. It was damn worth it.

At that meeting, we got to discussing what features we’d like to see in the next version of Opera. I proposed some, including the inline spell checker, which I’m using right now while writing this post. Another feature I proposed was for users to be able to subscribe to online feed readers(the popular ones, at least) right from the feed preview. When I said that, I remember one of the people putting on a face that just said: ‘You know, that might actually be a good idea.’

Today, Opera announced that they’ll be doing just that in the new snapshot for the Opera 10a and that that’s going to be a feature in the final release. HA!
