Gossip has been designed from first principles, from the data upwards -- i.e. How does the data lend itself to being presented? Usually the answer just falls out. Given that we have 'p' tags, we could filter posts based on whether or not you are tagged. All that was left was deciding which kinds of filtering should be front and center, and what kinds of things are subdued, or even relegated to your settings panel.
If I had tried to copy something else (e.g. twitter) it would have turned out a lot different I think. Admittedly some small ideas were copied, like the idea of having a list of buttons underneath a post.
I intend to change the Inbox switch such that "Direct Replies Only" will change to "Direct Mentions" and include both directly replies and inline mentions like @jack (right now, those mentions are only in the "Everything you are Tagged On" which also includes hell-thread tagging). But this will require content inspection at a point in the code that is currently quite fast because it isn't doing content inspection, so the result of that will need to be cached. Not difficult, just not yet coded.
