Yes, the same thread that led me here too :)

I don't think I told many people about Hubski, I'm not sure i'd want people I know in here (Although I was surprised when I noticed a guy from my class back in CEGEP started following me here. I'm not sure he knows it's me and he mostly lurks but that was a strange "the world is so small" moment)

I told my boyfriend about this place, but I don't think he gets it. He likes to joke about how I spend my time on a website with 20 users.

I do try to recommend the site to people I meet while traveling. I'm not very good at selling it yet tho, I'll have to practice.

-That made me laugh out loud. Tell him he should join so we can have 21 users.

Did I ever send you stickers? If not, PM me and I'll get you some. It helps with the evangelizing :)

Yeah, I forgot to PM you when I ran out (in part because i'm too lazy to find out my postal code).

I regretted it bunch last weekend in Berlin. I'll send you that PM before I forget.

I think I came from that reddit thread as well.

I do tell people about hubski, but I'm selective about it. I got my girlfriend to make an account, but she wasn't really into it. I also tell friends and family if I think they will "get it." In fact, a couple days ago I was talking to a friend on Facebook who always asks interesting questions in status updates, and he seemed open to hubski, but our conversation also got a lot of attention from our mutual friends. In the future I'll have to be more careful with my pitching strategies, I don't want to accidentally dilute the community here.
