Thanks for having us. Here's a quick question: if one who uses Reddit is a Redditor, what the hell do you call someone who uses hubski?
We've been saying hubskier but sounds_sound used another term... what was it?? A hubbie or some such nonsense :)
Yeah man. I've called us Hubbies before. But I also remember calling us all 'Skiers' - because we don't surf the web, we ski it. That makes zero sense. Or complete sense. You choose.
Ah, the "membership effect" we could piggyback on amex's marketing. edit: I do like "members" better than "users".
I'm starting to dig the idea of being a Hubski member. I think you can only call yourself that once your hub-wheel has made a full rotation. Only then can you wear the jacket.
I remember that conversation as well. It was inconclusive. Whenever I want to talk about something a hubski person said, I use the term "hubskiverse" as in, "I was lurking in the hubskiverse the other day and read that we will all be able to connect to the Global Brain via implants." What do you think? Kind of poetic, eh? Meanwhile, let's hope theadvancedapes did some magic at the Global Brain Institute.
I imagine it was a long, intricate, intelligent discussion going into the complexities of what each term implied. The debate probably lasted a couple months or so, and everyone walked away with their own opinion. Reddit's was more of: 5 seconds of bickering, and everyone agrees that the "smart" and "intellectual" move is to just put "or" at the end. Because that's how everything is, right?
