I am, of course... completely down with this blitz. That said, guiseroom's point that we need "more content before we start putting on the blitz" gets to the heart of why a blitz might be good... to generate more content. It's a chicken/egg dilemma. That said, I like the amount of content I get. I have a number of posts that are in my "saved" bucket that I need to get to. So, I don't feel a deficit regarding the number of quality posts. What I think we could really benefit from are some more comments. I enjoy having interesting conversations with people on Hubski. -The more the merrier. There are certain Hubskiers that I think could lend some advice to how to best do this. cynthianews has been very successful at cultivating a strong social media presence. Also, I know that insomniasexx has helped other sites expand their reach. Any advice? I use the Hubski FB Page and G+ Page. I also use twitter to posts Hubski links but I'm not much of a "tweeter". All of the online stuff is great but for me the best thing is to just tell a friend about hubski. This way I know that I'm inviting someone that I think is ideal for the site. Maybe that day I will send an email out to a select few friends inviting them to join in on a conversation that I think they'd enjoy, or something like that. Anyways, if anyone has any suggestions on what more I can do on July 9th or any other day to bring good, quality people to our community. Let me know. by the way, caio you are responsible for telling all of South America.
I agree that comments are often what interest me most. I like to hear other people's perspectives on things. But most people don't comment unless they really feel they have something to say, which is understandable. But for that reason, comments often beget comments, even more so than posts do.

But it's also nice to know that by posting something, I am providing a service to someone that might enjoy reading it... even if they don't comment. I like looking at the "shared by" in a post and seeing unfamiliar names. That's really cool imo. Prior to joining Hubski I didn't know anything about particle physics and now after reading posts here about that topic I find myself excited for the upcoming Cern announcement. Such is the power of consuming content provided by strangers. Pretty cool stuff.
As I said before they way to go also is to get bloggers to write about Hubski. This will help greatly. A tweet is only beneficial a short time, a blog remains in listed in search engines for as long as the blog exist.
