I thunk hubski as a mix of old-school forums and reddit. The community feeling is that of a forum. Everyone is special, different, has his own ideas and interests and that is shown by the content that is shared and the comments that the person writes. In forums this was also similar, except that you also had profile pictures, signatures etc. -> makes it annoying. Here it's simplified, and the content and its quality is what counts :) Tags are similar to sub-forums, or sub-reddits. Following people is something that hubski does more efficient than other sites. I really like that we are not a big group of people but that we are also growing, slowly. The pace is good to get to know the people that are already there and then slowly add in the people that come. Hubski is SUPER
