Today brings one of Hubski's biggest updates in a long time.

Over the past few months, I became convinced that Hubski's form could better fit its function. As an aggregator, Hubski has inherited some design choices. Some of this legacy is beneficial, and some is likely not. In an effort to separarte the two, I resolved to step back, and to reevaluate Hubski based upon how we use it. Today's update reflects the first major step in that process.

Importantly, I did not do this in a vaccuum. Along the way, I've been guided by continuing feedback from all of you, and the following people gave suggestions and critiques that significantly guided the redesign: thenewgreen, sounds_sound (the cool little follower icon in the top right was his idea), insomniasexx (who crashed a Google hangout!), gq, and kuli.

However, as I decided which advice to take, I hold responsibilty for any aspects of this update that fall short.

This is not the end of this process, but these changes are significant enough that we thought it would be best if further decisions were informed by use. As we tweak this update, we plan to test some other ideas that we have.

As always, feedback is much appreciated!
