Once upon a time I was a Knitter with a Capital K and I waited 3/6 months to get in to beta test a knitting website that did things I could not find anywhere else. It was super amazing. All the knitters I knew were talking about it. It was a miracle of a website, and I gladly waited. Ravelry
True, I agree. My point was rather that if you build the right thing, people will wait around the block for weeks or months to get it. however, as I was talking about Ravelry I realized it would have to be a Very Special Thing indeed: one that perfectly fit an impassioned, niche community, and (here's the key Hubski lacks) isn't readily available at least by proxy elsewhere. What Hubski provides is great, and of course there's no lil or 8bit or thenewgreen or mk or humanodon or (I could go on and on...) anywhere else (some of us are more promiscuous however) but to the quick observer, what Hubski provides is also provided by many other aggregators: conversation, links, entertainment. We see it as vitally different on a micro scale because that's how involved we are in it, but on a macro level, naaahhhh, nothin' worth waitin' fer here.
