I have issues communicating with new people, and I have issues becoming part of something, anything really.
Thanks :) I like hubski so far, so much more... Tight knit than reddit. I'm not worried about making myself seem like a fool, just conversing.
I find it to be a much more human experience than say, reddit. Other users compare it to hanging around in a bar with a bunch of regulars. Don't worry about coming off like a fool. I ask dumb questions all the time. Generally users on this site are eager to share their knowledge and ideas about any number of things, especially when questions are honestly asked. That's a part of the site culture that I think really sets this place apart.
I'm enjoying it so far, but I think if hubski grows too much that feeling of familiarity would disappear.
