Believe it or not, you are still witnessing it here. We have felt these waves not so much because they are big, but because we are still small. You too can one day wax nostalgic about the good old days of Hubski and explain to the noobs how they are doing it wrong.I've never seen early adoption in action, and I think it would be at least be interesting to see it, or try it, even if I find it's not for me.
Already on it, mk ;) Edited to say, I try to take a non-confrontational, non-prescriptive stance when I see potential "changes." However, I like discussing them with the community and seeing if my barometer is totally off. In addition, I really thought the Reposts/AskHubski/Better Angels post generated some great discussion and my favorite part was seeing everyone's different opinions, and different they really all were. So even though maybe it might seem like I get...oh...hate to use the word but potentially angsty about the status of a website on the Internet - I definitely get a lot of value bringing these thoughts to the community and hearing what they have to say.
