The state of Hubski is "good" indeed. Thank you to all of you that nurture the site, every day. You know who you are.

This place is about people, without you it doesn't exist.

Want to do the impossible? Start a successful social aggregator. Guess what? It cannot happen unless you can get people to care about it as much as you do. That's really, really hard. What makes a site like Hubski worth caring about? The people. How do you attract the people that are worth caring about? -Fuck if I know.

Seriously, I'm not kidding. There is no secret recipe on how to do this. We made certain decisions along the way that helped steer the right people (YOU) here, but much of it was likely serendipitous.

I'm glad you found us! It was meant to be!!

I love you Hubski, you're such a kick-ass part of my world.

Happy New Year!

edit: I think it's important to reiterate that we've never had more effort going in to the development of Hubski. I only mention it because its not yet evident, but It will be. I think you'll all be really glad for the efforts insomniasexx and forwardslash are putting forth. Also, you should know that these efforts are born of the suggestions you have put forth.

2015 is going to kick ass for Hubski!!
