This is a fundamentally wrong understanding of how reading works. This way may be ideal for close reading but full speed reading needs the whole page and the ability to bounce around visually.

"New codebase... Twisted." Is this satire?

best of luck, if I was in the situation I'd definitely sue in small claims court.

Amazing that CNN is this scared of the people to be pushing the CIA-funded method of social resistance.

hahaha. Next you'll be saying the programmers that did this will unionize.

I really enjoyed this, the user experience is very nice and its a well designed site.

I tend to use Gist now because its improved and I have a client for it, but this is a shame to see.

He's joking that Zsh isn't Bash and therefor doesn't keep Bash's history in sync.

It's built as an affinity group builder. You're the one doing the networking, not the website. It only shares your information in a small group, not en masse. It's very smart really, building webs of trust.

Same here. It also would be nice to have a selection screen after you do the OPML import to verify if you still want all that crap :)

The title doesn't have to do with the joke though... at least I'm not seeing it. The old spice thing is funny and is fairly obviously not sexist but the title could be a little less so.

New comment by jackolas in "Ready For a Reddit Replacement?"

jackolas — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 01:44:17 +0000

No social platform is going to disrupt the existing systems until they decouple content and organization. The main issue is that we assume that all 'upvotes' are equal. If a user can select who is in their filter layer (like in Twitter), as opposed to selecting content (a subreddit), there will be a shift away from the cycle of bread and circuses.

Hubski may be doing that but only implementing this one graph node deep and only having one default category for information, will probably not create a vibrant and diverse community.

HBO should have had this with my cable company a while ago. Too little too late, they lost me as a customer by mock-C&Ding the cable company.
