Things the PokerStars and Full Tilt softwares could learn from each other

I like both PS and FT when it comes to playing poker online, but both their softwares aren't perfect yet. Even though all they have to do is look at each other to improve.

PokerStars could learn from Full Tilt Poker:

- Change the names of their Team Members to say their real names. Just like Finddagrind is now Patrik Antonius on Full Tilt, Money800 should be Chris Moneymaker
- Update the prize pools on the fly when people register. Please don't wait for the tournament to start to announce the prizes.
- Update Cashier when logging in, and not when I click on the Cashier button.
- In-game sound effects are horrible.
- Make the SNG and tournament listings cleaner to look at.
- Allow graphical hand histories.
- Generate tournament summaries when busting out (PokerTracker).
- Copy Full Tilt's blind structure, it's just better.

Full Tilt Poker could learn from PokerStars:

- Allow custom avatars (even though it's probably too late to revamp that feature).
- See folded hole cards as pictures, not text.
- Have text hand histories.
- Have an option to call an administrator when at a final table to discuss a chop.
- Do not pop up the SNG lobby when a SNG I registered for fills up, the table is enough.
- Add a "Search Team Full Tilt Pros" option.
- Observer chats should be allowed only to players who have played in a similar stakes once, to limit the haters and beggers.
- The ability to request tournament histories by email.
