Just like LinkedIn, I think it's a good idea in theory, but the implementation is so locked-in and hostile to openness that it suffers as a result. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 5, 14:37 6

- It's like if I took ST and said "you need to create an account and log in in order to see thread replies and IMs" -- nm - Beryllium Jun 5, 14:38 4

    - If you don't have qualms about creating an account, it's a good way to find and share interesting things like crafts, recipes, photos, toys, etc - Beryllium Jun 5, 14:41 1
