Thanks marimano. I like that description of the vibe. I can almost hear the other hubskiers flipping pages, tapping keyboards, and coughing. :)

Importantly, you need to follow people to get the most out of Hubski. The 'all posts' feed is simply a list of all posts as they are submitted, so you will find anything there. I almost called it 'bottom feed', but that sounded a bit harsh. :)

I noticed that you aren't following anyone. My advice is to start by following about 3-4 people, and see who is sharing/posting content you appreciate the most. Unfollow your least favorite of these people, and look for another few people to follow. Following about 20 quality people seems to work well for me. I drop and add people from time to time. It's nothing personal.

It's important to unfollow people if you don't like the content they post or share. If you feel the content you are getting has dropped in quality, identify who is sharing your least favorite posts with you, and unfollow that person or those people. (It might be worthwhile for me discuss this in the FAQ page.) For this reason, you shouldn't have to deal with content you don't appreciate. It simply becomes a matter of following discerning hubskiers.
