And me, and others. I hope we get a good thing going here.
Hi Swedishbadger - there is a good thing going here already. We are often interesting, usually respectful, and sometimes even funny. If you are a girl, there are smart interesting females here. Sometimes men use the tag #grrlski to get a female perspective on an issue. There is no up or down voting here, only sharing. Let me know if you have any questions by personal message (pm).
If you click the circle on a post, it means you are sharing the post with your followers. Gradually, as you post and comment, you will gain followers - meaning your posts and comments will appear in their feed. This site depends on people finding or creating interesting items and sharing them. If you click the circle next to a comment, you are indicating that you
1) have probably read it
2) find it interesting and worthy of note Check the about and tutorial at the bottom of the page, and also #didyouknow and #newtohubski tags. Or just ask me.
That's brilliant, thanks! I was already following #newtohubski so I'll follow #didyouknow now too. And share your post.
Actually one more question, what usually makes you decide to share a post? Is it that you agreed with it, thought it was interesting, thought it added to the conversation, all of the above? I'm noticing that most of the posts I've shared are post with which I've found agreeable, but maybe that's not as beneficial. Still learning, thanks for sharing your experience, cheers :)
Sharing also adds to something in mk's magic mix causing dots to appear around your name or perhaps around the sharee's name. When you complete a full circle, you have more privileges. If you comment on it and want more people to notice your comment, perhaps people might add a share. I imagine sharing is someowhat idiosyncratic. Also worthy of note is that people do not just read what is in their feeds. They look for interesting comments in chatter and badges and unread, unshared one-starred bits in "global." Anyway, no rush. Hubski never sleeps..Actually one more question, what usually makes you decide to share a post?

Sometimes posts are shared ironically, sometimes even badged ironically.
Thank you, I found the tag and I really like the tag system and everything else so far.
