Yes, just a test. There are a number of reasons why I thought it might be worthwhile. The primary ones are:

  1. Discovery on Hubski is still lacking. This helps.
  2. It gives a quick overview of a user in a relavent way.
  3. Good (and relavent) posts that were overlooked might get a second chance.
  4. It's a bit sad when a post has no comments. This makes it less so.
  5. Tags become a bit more meaningful.
I'm open to suggestions.

Yeah, hubski drags out our sordid pasts now. I'm... not sure.

Useful insight into user flagamuffin.

Hundred percent agree with 1 and 4, this is an elegant partial solution. I'm not sold on 'relevant' yet but definitely on 'fun'. 3 and 5, we'll see. Anyway I like it. It's not obtrusive, which I imagine was a concern.

Well, more relavent than:

I'm sitting in a very quiet waiting room and just laughed out loud at this. #mademelooksilly

Yeah, I like it a lot too and it was a completely surprised, mk didn't tell any of us about it. I think it ties in nicely to what we often say regarding posts not having an expiration date. I could see conversations being rekindled more often because of this.
