Thank you so much! I almost didn't post today because I was feeling like I might be a little spammy or people didn't really care much about them. The last five or so I've posted haven't gotten any clicks or comments, so I was worried people didn't like them.

I haven't had time to check all of them out, and frankly I'll probably not get to, but I dig it. Maybe post one a day. The one that you find the most compelling.

Just a suggestion. Also, maybe add additional links for people that would like to do a deeper dive in to the topic?

Ah, good advice! I'll give that a shot.

Hubski is actually only three dudes, 'lil, and a guinea pig. They are doing all the clicking that they can, sir.

And I have noticed that posting stuff that you write, and that you create, and that you play is way more of a hubski high visibility orange post than repost-reblog-information-Doritos that most of the social-forum-ish places I have been, too.

Maybe more live journal than reddit?

I found the history.com 'today in history' posts to be informative and interesting. I guess that's not what I'm supposed to share here?

This is an awesome share. It takes a while to get followers and attention on hubski, but stay the course. My big problem (and perhaps a lot of others) is trying to stay focussed on "work-like" activities. For example, I read a bit about Benedict Arnold, then used the "what happened on your birthday" link. Then discovered that a major plane crash in DETROIT happened on my birthday. Then discovered that there was one sole survivor. Then I wondered how she was doing....an hour lost.

By the way backtoyoujim, "lil" is the guinea pig.

Edit oh, and get some sleep.

Too cool. I'll keep finding good daily posts, and include extra links and more text in the future.

I try to sleep. Being at work 70 hours a week makes sleep and food difficult. Hence the username. Pulled a 12 today, gotta be back in at work at 4am tomorrow. Heh.

I'm happy people enjoy #tih. I'll keep doing a daily one until I get yelled at.
