I’ve pointed one friend I thought might appreciate it to the OB archives, which are my primary draw to this site at the moment. (I’ve been here less than a month.)
How could we do it better?
Assuming that “it” is attracting useful contributors without being overwhelmed by clutter, I recommend linking in your own social space (blog, Facebook, email to friends, conversations) to specific articles you think exemplify the virtues of the site/community (NB: I said “exemplify,” not “discuss”).
People who like it will look around near it. People who don’t like it will wander off. Which is basically what you want.
