It's true, I logged on this morning and was very surprised to see what it had grown to in fact.
Love the meme, funny stuff.
I didn't want to be all anger as that is just not me. Even pissed I try to have at least a little comic relief.
Much of what I've mentioned above doesn't really alter the overall format of the site and would not take the amounts you have stated here.
On that note I do understand your point. It takes time and money. My point is that with or without the money the more important point is direction and focus.
Fixing existing issues and ironing them out to a working model is far more important that adding new facets to the platform for example. It's about foundation. Without it the structure crumbles. If it is very solid the structure can grow well.
The most important thing about foundation is that it is not built on top of anything... ever. Foundation is the supporting factor of any build so it is necessary for it to be in the beginning or at the bottom.
If @ned and his team were focused on foundational issues, putting aside the extra stuff (that I'm sure will be awesome) long enough to get the foundation strong, we would really have something. It would also allow for many things to be added later that could easily be supported. A smart man given 6 hours to chop a tree will spend 1 hour sharpening his axe.
You are right about how much facebook spends to have a well oiled machine. However one thing that helped it take off so fast was having a solid foundation to grow from. In the early days that kind of money was simply not there for them yet they still built a solid foundation to grow from. So many things now get added to fb each day. if these things were being added before the foundational structure was in place it would have crumbled.
I really appreciate your respectful challenge to some of what I've said. Thank you very much for sharing your opinion. I really appreciate it.
Steem On!
