  • I enjoyed this read, and it is an excellent case scenario. But at the same time, what if this cute blonde never actually joined the Legal Eagle? What if she was an IRC girl? This isn't a hole in your interpretation, but really a thing for Jeff to consider when trying to "one up" the other channels. People will have preferences, some for and some against a new implementation. This doesn't make the third place a bad idea. But it does mean you have to consider how much time is invested in creating it versus how much utility it will actually get, and avoid neglect to higher Trilogy priorities.

  • Perhaps the people using IRC aren't the target audience of the third place. Just as not every SOFU-user uses Meta, the same goes for the third place Commented Apr 30, 2010 at 18:25

  • Then they should use Diaspora instead of setting up their own thing that's in its own little software universe. I hate tons of random sites that each have their own ways of doing everything. Commented Oct 26, 2010 at 17:28
