    What do you have to do to get that? How do I hubski?

nimbus - I see that you follow one person, and following thenewgreen is a good start. He's almost everywhere and like insomniasexx, he never sleeps, but also follow #pubski and the contributors there. I'd say that the recent post there will give you a pretty good idea of the human face of hubski if you like human nitty gritty. Posts like pubski remind us that we live in bodies in communities while filling our brain with hubski articles about politics, science, technology, global brains, philosophy and listening to the background music landscape of the #music posts.

Have you seen eightbitsamurai's dramatization of all things hubski, written during a Ramadan-induced fasting fever.

Many of us have avatars who are trying to save Hubskina from a Tidder (reddit) invasion.

If you like any of the slogans suggested for hubski, you might want to follow the sloganer.

Let us know when your experience intensifies.

EDIT: and read mknod's advice here on how to hubski. It should be on a t-shirt in teeny tiny text.

I am the Messiah, the alpha and the omega.

Except unlike the holy books that other prophets have received, mine is stitched together with duct tape and gorilla glue.

Duct tape and Gorilla glue are basically indestructible, so I think you're on pretty solid ground.

My 6AM routine consists of of the Daily Show, Colbert Report, and deep, deep regret about having woken up at 6AM again.

but then you check hubski and see that you have been recognized for your awesomeness, and you smile - maybe even chuckle, and plan a nap.

edit: NAP QUOTES referenced by 8bit in his thx to refugee:

Yes, a nap on the car ride back home.

“Nap like no one is listening. Nap like you’ve never been hurt. Nap like nobody is watching.”

Thanks _refugee_.

Ask not what a nap can do for you, ask what you can do for your nap.

hey, thanks lil. All that really helps :) It's funny, I'm kind of a reddit migrator - well, to say that is really an overstatement. I don't consider myself a redditor at all. I basically tagged onto it on a whim and loved the idea of curating that it encourages, but soon found that it wasn't for me. I guess, despite having a few positive experiences discussing interesting topics, more of the time I was hesitant to post into the community - there was already a system of humor nuances and biases that almost feel restricting in a way. But to someone else that's the very thing that makes the community for them, so I've got nothing against that. It's just not for me. (and don't get me started on all those "le reddit armie has arrived" comments on youtube.) Whenever i saw hubski in my bookmarks I knew there was something I was missing, i just had to scratch past the surface. I hope that makes sense, it's 2am haha. But thanks, mknod's advice was really good. I'll slowly keep following tags adn people, thanks :) From what yourself and ButterflyEffect have said, I do feel very welcome here.
