A New Online Commmunity: Hubski

#1
What do you think? Will it be successful? Is there room for another online community to thrive?

In terms of Hacker News, will it ever get "too big" like reddit? Will it slowly die like the eternal september of Slashdot? Or will it continue to thrive?

In an age of REST, I'm not sure why sites still insist on hiding behind GET parameters for primary functions of the site.

I think one of the more successful aspects of Reddit is that each section has it's own full URL, making it easy to share and for engines to index.

Witness:

http://hubski.com/tag?id=askhubski

http://reddit.com/r/askreddit

EDIT: (facepalm) Yeah, I meant GET parameters not requests ... both are obviously GET requests

I think he meant ids or slugs in the url as opposed to query string parameters. You are correct that both are GET request.

I just registered and can't get out of the "You are not following anyone yet!" page. clicking on the main logo, feed link, doesn't work. I have to log out to see the normal page.

Look below the "You are not following anyone yet" and click a name to follow them.
