Can Hubski discussions on YouTube videos be a solution?

I doubt that Google would be interested (or that it would be a good thing for us), but they might be a solution for Vi. Maybe we should ask her if she wants them on her blog. What do you think?

On a related note, I recently saw Alexis Ohanian give a talk, and he said that Google was interested in acquiring Reddit early on and using it for youtube comments.

    Google was interested in acquiring Reddit

That would produce such drama over there. If that ever happens the community will throw the biggest hissy fit the internet has ever seen.

Yeah. However, from his telling, this was even before they were bought by Conde Nast. It was a different place then. But even then, not a good fit.

I think that Vi's content would be an awesome addition to the Hubski community. You should ask her. I'd definitely follow her and would be glad to have her use Discussion via Hubski.

I think we should convince her to just use hubski as her base of operations.

That would be pretty kick ass!

That would be great!

Great idea, I love it when you reach out to interesting people to bring them here it makes the community feel all that more unique and generally adds to it as a whole.
