Very positive on this suggestion regardless of the conclusion on the rest of the thread. (I am hoping these get taken as separate issues and tackled separately.)

I have tried inviting many, many friends (but only those who I thought would truly contribute) to Hubski and I have also accidentally told people about Hubski because a thread was relevant to their interests, even though I didn't think they should join or that they would make good members. The second part of that I'll just have to suck it up on, for so long as I keep blabbing about Hubski in facespace, but I feel like this suggestion would help recruit more of the first by showing examples of what Hubski is all about.

Then again, people might just delete it as spam, but, can't hurt right?

Edit: Also, how many other users besides lil and me have had trouble actually getting friends to join? Just curious.

I do.

It's not for everybody. People seem to just see a wall of text and have a hard time seeing all the fantastic people, discussions, art etc that is behind it. It takes time and not everyone is patient enough or frankly, has the time to invest in something new.
