Nice work littlebirdie, I really enjoyed this and look forward to reading more of your work. You and other writers, musicians, artists and creatives should know that it's encouraged to share your own work on Hubski. I hope you don't mind me posting this.

Thank you so kindly for sharing my words and near-crash experience with Hubski! How exciting! I didn't realize we could share our own stuff - a lot of other sites frown on that. I will make sure I am judicious in what I share so as not to be "one of those" kinds of people, ha ha!

    I didn't realize we could share our own stuff - a lot of other sites frown on that.
The way I see it, if someone is sharing original content,discussing the content and participating in the site, that's ideal. We should celebrate our creations and those that create them. Spamming is a totally different animal and isn't tolerated but by all means, share your work. I think it's crazy that other sites don't encourage this.

Also, if I don't like what someone posts, I can always click "ignore" and I'll not see their submissions. Also, also I have taken to tagging my original content with "tng": #tngpodcast, #tng this way people can ignore those tags and still follow me. I do it as a courtesy, knowing that not all people will be interested in the content I create. Hope this helps, I look forward to more of your original work.

That all makes wonderful sense. I'm enjoying this site so much, I can't remember another site I've enjoyed more. I love the friendships and conversations that have been developing, and can see how sharing some of our most personal moments can bring about new creativity, excitement, and change.

I'm still figuring out the tags - which has changed I see, so I'm re-confused, but I will sort it out. I just don't want to miss out on anything cool!
