We are lucky, you and me (you might ask me sometime for my definition of luck) to have been put in a position to find some people that know, like and trust us. I've written some REALLY good niche posts that go nowhere, and some posts of general interest that do fine.
I suspect (hope) we are going to see a time when true niche posts become valuable and wanted. That'll happen when we import a sizeable group that IS interested in a specific niche.
On an entirely non related subject, I like your sig line. I think you should make a Gen1 badge and award it. I'd wear it proudly.
Thanks for another post that made me think.
Yes and I think this will come through a combination of communities and SMTs working in tandem.
That is not a bad idea!
Maybe @arcange is interested in creating a badge for HiveBuzz and awarding it to all accounts that have been here since the first block :)
Something I would like to do, but we have to refine the definition of "being here since the first block". What does that mean for you?
