Hey!

I'm super excited to be joining the team!

I really want to thank mk & thenewgreen & b_b & forwardslash for all their hard work and letting me join something so awesome.

When I told my dad about this, he asked me what I want to accomplish. Actually, he first asked if there was money to be made. My answer didn't really satisfy him but it's the truth.

I'm not here for the money...even if there was any. I have a job, just like the rest of the Hubski team, that pays my bills and then some. But Hubski gives me something that my job rarely does: Hubski is something I get excited about and passionate about and dedicated to and enjoy.

I don't really have any end goal or single accomplishment that I am looking to take away from Hubski. I don't think any project like hubski will ever be "done" or "complete." It's an ongoing project that challenges us, teaches us, and gives us joy and satisfaction. Being part of the Hubski team is going to be a journey...an adventure.

One thing I do want is to share Hubski with people. I want people to find the same enjoyment and knowledge I do. I want the community to grow so that there are more viewpoints and more posts and more discussions contributing to a thoughtful and intelligent community.

I also want the community to continue to be as amazing as it is. We have a solid foundation of users who are smart and witty and creative and talkative. I continue to be surprised by ceaselessly high quality links, original content and comments that get posted here. So, as we get more and more users, I want the community to expand but not deteriorate.

Also, I'm going to invade Detroit soon so if any of you are in the general area, you have to come say hi! and do shots!

Also, also! I know I'm special and all that but this post wasn't supposed to be about me. It was supposed to be about fowardslash's new AMAZING chrome extension. So don't forget to download it. It really works well and is way faster than I was expecting.
