EDit: i do not mean to insinuate that Zaads is suffring from any of this,,quite the contrary, i think Zaads is on track to trancend and include all existing social software,,,but a little theoria never hurts as fuel for the effort.

Good read, Casey. Thanks for the heads up.
I’m feelin pretty good about our chances. One of the lessons I dug most from that piece focused on the intention of the community–particularly the early adopters. I’m excited about the (amazing!) group we have during our pre-real-lauch-phase and think it’s key that we have a high center of gravity as we roll out into mainstream.
Lots to learn and lots to grow from as we evolve. Fun!
