    Last night, I put up some of the new Hubski stickers in Chicago.

Do you mean you've also stickied them in obvious places?

Exactly

They must look like a club or a cult symbolic to an outsider unless they have a name an/or a link on them - and even then... Why do it? It isn't like Hubski needs new users more than in needs internal credibility, unlike ad-supported platforms like Reddit.

Why do it? Because once, while going through a toll booth in Baltimore someone saw one. I once saw one on the back of a car in Toledo. It's fun. I enjoy puting them out there. I don't think any of us harbor any delusions that it will drive any traffic to the site.

They're like little calling cards all over the globe.

    The first rule of Hubski: you do not talk about Hubski.

...sorry, couldn't resist.

I see. That's nice. I'd love to see one somewhere.

. . . didn't anyone tell you? This is a cult. Here's your complimentary robe, five volume codex, and rune etched sacrificial dagger.
