Why Hubski is Awesome

a thoughtful web.

Good ideas and conversation. No ads, no tracking. Login or Take a Tour!

I've been wanting to join hubski for a bit, but when I tried to sign up yesterday I found the 15 letter limit to user names. Not feeling creative, I delayed until I could think of a good way to shorten Intimidating Scones from 18 to under 15. dupurz contacted an admin, and then told me to try again today. So, well, you can see for yourself why Hubski is awesome.^

Way better than IntimidatingSco! Which would not be very intimidating at all :)
