@matigo The minute you talk about investing time or money, you're already erected an insurmountable barrier for some.

@js which is funny because they talk like it was founded to be inclusive, touting open standards and the like. In reality, they've chosen specific "barriers to entry" that are, by their nature, exclusionary.
The same thing happened on ADN, which in fact had many of the same barriers initially.
As much as I like the idea of micro.blog, I’m not sure I like the reality. The community is very self-selecting with a high-barrier of entry, resulting in not enough diversity of people or conversations.
Maybe people are fine with that, not sure I am
A Railroad Trestle in Capitola, CA [wikimapia.org]
I used to walk across this trestle many moons ago to school. My dad didn't want me walking to school, much less across this trestle, but I did both.
Why I'm remembering this right now probably isn't important.
@matigo They could probably hire an expert and pay his salary for several years for that kind of money. ?
