This same comment, except replace "Svbtle" with "Facebook" back when they opened up registrations for college students outside the Ivy League. It's not too far off from the much ballyhooed Slashdot quote on the first ipod.

No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame. http://slashdot.org/story/01/10/23/1816257/apple-releases-ip...

What a brainfart of a comment. You are missing the point completely.

Facebook isn't a publishing platform. Apple didn't undermine its best feature in existing product by introducing iPod.

What an unnecessarily mean-spirited comment. Did you really need to say your first sentence?

That being said, maybe you're missing the point. Maybe svbtle wants to be a mainstream publishing platform and is just bootstrapping its initial user culture by curating the users. Maybe not.
