I can't see it becoming a product as in "makes money" or "attracts investors" without compromising the slow-web spirit. Social sites traditionally thrive on compulsive re-visiting (because ad money), and limiting users to one update per day kills that dead. That said, it might become a more attractive experiment if it had some way of floating good thoughts to more readers. E.g. you could "like" only one of the thoughts from your feed and have an extra slot in your feed for a thought that another user "liked."

>> I can't see it becoming a product as in "makes money" or "attracts investors" without compromising the slow-web spirit. We're on the same page there. Still it would be nice to find a way to make enough to cover the server costs without fucking up the site. The notion of upvoting thoughts is a recurring theme in this discussion, so I'm bumping that to the top of the todo list. Again, thanks for the input, it's very much appreciated.
