What is svbtle in the first place (never even heard of it, and I bet 99% of people haven't either)? Is it a theme? I have no clue why this needs to be mentioned

- tptacek 14y agoSvbtle is a blog network. Go to SVBTLE.COM to see who's writing for it; it's the first thing you see on the site. Whether or not something is part of SVBTLE is about as important a point as whether it's written for Ars Technica, or for ZDNet: that is, not the most important thing about the piece, but by absolutely no means irrelevant. Also, had this been an actual Svbtle piece, it would have carried the frisson of being a contrarian take on the work of another Svbtle author, since Svbtle is where Dalton Caldwell announced App.net to begin with.

- tptacek 14y ago"Elitist old boy's club"? What does that even mean? Are we really that insecure? That any time anybody chooses to affiliate selectively in a new way, we have to cast aspersions?
