Are you hiring editors? It feels like they might be inexpensive in this market.

Interesting... how does that currently work? Is it informal or is there a review mechanism in place?

Why? Do you anticipate a lowering of standards after the thrill has worn off?

A lot of the current svbtle blogs are incredibly vapid.

The current, most popular post on the svbtle network is Dave McClure, a super angel with his own Wikipedia page, hoping that he's a "late bloomer", not a "loser."

dcurtis' latest post:

I’ve been hearing rumblings which suggest that Flipboard is about to be blocked from Twitter’s API, following Instagram’s blockage last week. What is Twitter thinking?

Literally, that's the entire post.

I really like the actual frontend of svbtle blogs, and the 'ideas v. published' blogging interface seems smart, but the notion that this is some curated uber-network is absurd.
