it would be nice to control what is visible and accessible by others, especially since anyone can join this and it isn't limited to members of universities.

The move-up move-down process for papers is tedious. When users add a new paper it should appear at the top of the list, rather than the bottom. This way newer papers will be seen first by readers. Makes sense to me!

I really miss the "I've read this"-button and just don't get the point in "following" a paper, since it won't "go" anywhere, i.e. will change anything about it's appearance, will it? I liked the read-papers-feature very much, also the part of the webpage showing "papers I've read", which isn't available anymore for some weeks now. what a pity.

...because I compute/network to save time, not make work!

It would be nice to be able to add society memberships, i.e. APA, MLA, SCE, etc. The new journal section seems to be a good template for this...

so third parties and users can build cool tools to interact w/your data

wish you had a place to post calls for papers, to be distributed to members on the basis of their interests

An application for academia would be welcome, or at least a version of the web site optimized for the iPhone (and other mobile devices).

Hello, there!

I was trying to rearrange my talks and I just can't get them into chronological order. It seems to order them alphabetically, which doesn't help much.

Am I getting something wrong?

Thanks very much!

I would like to be able to indicate that I was a graduate student in a specific university in a specific department for specific years, etc. That would allow searching for overlap to find contacts (or even automatically suggest them).

so that folk can find out about conferences and who's attending what.

It's nice to know how many people downloaded a paper over longer period than 30 days. It is a childish pleasure but a pleasure nevertheless to see that some people are interested in what you wrote.
A Top Ten / Top Hundred list (within a cathegory) would not hurt either - it would be a good way to see what other people are reading.
Bring back the counters and make them visible to visitors as well!

...so we can link to our academia.edu from out blog in a more visual way. Is it possible to create a widget we can add to blogs/websites?

ü ö ä å and other characters do not seem to work in the search. At least the results page shows them falsely.

how to block a follower?

Can we create interest groups, like in Facebook? Where people can sign up so that you can inform them about things...
