It's not something I had to think about a lot, because honestly my personal sensibilities are are even more vanilla than most corporate social media sites.

I absolutely agree - all of this is way too complicated. And I do this stuff for a living.

Yes. You, too.

This is interesting. I didn't expect POSSE explained on The Verge in that much detail

They're talking about wordpress.com, which is a bit mindbloggling.

Go do it!

The first point is slowly being pushed against, which is good, mostly.
