My reason for joining Hubski was elements of Reddit and Twitter. There just seems to be hashtags rather than subreddits and the abiity to follow users. I feel like there definitly needs to be more emphasis on a users profile page. The pop up idea is good, for not dragging you away from a thread, but I don't feel like I have seen anything about a person, only a bio if they have written. Have you ever seen the cloud thingies which convert your Facebook words into proportional bubbles? A proportional representation of shared posts from which hashtags wouldn't go amiss, as I don't really know what I am in for when I
subscribe to somebody. I have only been here a few days so feel free to dismiss this as bullcrap.
EDIT: Phone fingers apologies
Harry, you make some valid points. Content discovery as well as ways to show user stats/interests are areas we plan on focusing our attention. Thanks for the suggestions. As you be one more familiar with the site, please continue to provide feedback. We are definitely listening. Cheers!
