waxbolt, if you knew the amount of times I have sat strangers in front of a computer and had them use hubski for the first time in front of me while quietly taking notes, you would be pleased :) I also create new accounts and go through the process to get a feel for it. kleinbl00 will recall that we once had no tutorial and he was extremely helpful in testing/suggesting what we have now. -To this point, we are in the works on a "welcome video" that steve is making which will help steer new users towards finding content etc. And it certainly mentions the global feeds. Its a work in progress, but b_b is also correct that barriers exist for a reason too. There is a good amount of chatter on reddit right now about Hubski and I just saw one comment there mention that Hubski looked too "dense" and that because of that they are sticking to 4chan and reddit. -Victory from a UI perspective imo.The site founders are firmly of the opinion that content is best found by following users who post and share content that is interesting to you.
True, but it's all in how you get there. For me, the ideal way to use the site would be to follow tags that interest you to begin with. Then, when you find users, via those tags, that you find interesting -follow them. I would think that a healthy mix of users/tags followed is the way to go.
