I disagree [that it is "better"]. I am a wayward hacker in a non-tech field. Don't know anyone from whom to obtain an invitation (to be clear, not soliciting for one -- don't have time for another site/newsfeed), probably even within 1-2 degrees of separation. I suppose they are perfectly happy remaining small and low-traffic, so it works for them.
