I really thought we were going to take some steps forward in the UI world after the whole Facebook/ReadWriteWeb fiasco. Am I the only one who thinks this a bad idea? Now users who have already managed to get lost on your site will be presented with irrelevant information rather than something that helps them find what they're looking for.

Alexis and Steve: how much of this had to do with the 'censorship' you alluded to when the atheism/front-page and sears/'hacking' issues happened?

I see to recall a comment from one of you saying that you couldn't talk about it much now, but you would be able to 'in a couple months.'

While farmers and mechanics work from home their actual work environment is outside of their normal living space. Its pretty easy to stay on task when you're out in the garage or barn. Meanwhile, we all know what its like to sit down in front of a computer and have a whole world of distractions at our finger tips.

Solid argument. I'm convinced.

If you dig deeper there is still a lot of good stuff. It turns out that the idea of having each subreddit be a small 'community' kinda works. Each day my wife checks out /r/Frugal just to see if there is anything new. She doesn't really have any use for the rest of the site unless she's REALLY trying to kill time but the Frugal reddit does a great job of aggregating stories she's interested in.

If all you look at are /r/funny, /r/pics and /r/politics then you're missing out.

I think banks to alpha-numeric so you can type them in on the phone.

I was wondering why Green Tea is on there three times until I realized you can click on each circle to see what symptoms its referring to.
