Terrifying, but it isn’t news. This is why I started Bindlesnitch, to create an alternative. At this point, I consider Bindlesnitch a failure. Not in the design but in the marketing of it. Robert and I keep paying to keep it running and we fix it when it breaks but I no longer harbor any illusions that it will accomplish anything because the people we knew on Open Salon simply didn’t show up. If they had, it would have worked.

If a fact-based, snark-free environment deters people from showing up and signing on, then so be it…

Thanks for posting this, Ron. I don’t recall where I have seen her before, but this is worth seeing over and over. As time passes, and events develop, one can see how good this research has been.

This kind of info and insight is priceless…
I’m surprised that we haven’t heard and seen more about her and what she has to offer and contribute to the national discourse on the matters involving Facebook, Twitter, et al…

I think I saw her on 60 Minutes. I couldn’t recall at first, but I am fairly certain now that must have been where it was.
