Site design is nice. Just started giving it a go. I'm hesitant to use more "social networks" in this case that term doesn't seem to be quite right. Half wiki half network.

Always wanted one of the Lego Death Stars. Not sure if this helps me find one, but interesting. http://curicon.com/items/view/17052/lego-10143-death-star-ii

Craig/tbundy, thanks for the posts. Re: Help you find a Death Star, not directly at the moment. Although you can ask about in Q&A. We're at MVP at the moment, but our goal is to make collecting/acquiring pop-culture as easy and enjoyable as possible. Much more to come and we're always keen for feedback!

Cheers, Glenn.

That TC piece on "interest-based" social networks came to mind when I saw this. I think there's a limit to what needs to be segmented, but this happens to be square in my interests and it makes a lot of sense.

Also makes me think of Ravelry, Etsy, etc. With the Facebook /Instagram media saturation of late, it's nice to see some news about something else in the social space.

... hadn't realised I'd missed "Nerd Pride Day".

Would be nice if it were a public holiday, but for now I guess we just have to live and hope :)

How do you add things? In the console category I notice that both the original Xbox and the Xbox 360 are missing.

Community editing/additions are on the way. For the moment we're managing from HQ. MS Consoles are now on the to-do list! If you have any more suggestions for the library, love to hear them. I'm username 'glenn' or on glenn@curicon.com.
