    i guess the more i think about it the more a point of contention it is for me this idea of ffffound being invite-only. why shouldnt the (www.) proletariat (.net) have open access? it's not like it functions to protect from manipulation as one could hypothetically auto-invite themselves until they're following each others tails * times around? (am i wrong?)

    • completely open I think it would be a better gauge of liked images in general, but a less useful resource for designers.kelpie
    • that's right horp, i forgot about the 'quality control' asspect, i think it's shit!

    • (which were already thinking might be fatally flawed, haha)kelpie
    • i think it would be a far more interesting resource for designers, wouldn't it?
      ********
    • you are completely and totally right, of course it would. It would require designers to arrive at it with a different motivation thoughkelpie
    • ie. not to see other design, but to understand what images and symbols resonate with people in a more general sensekelpie
    • what about these meta-demographics? how deep is the user profile?
      ********
    • i mean, designers could filter designers if people listed their profession? (admittedly a double edged sword)
      ********
    • yeah, it could do that, and that could be useful. I'm not sure what though, but something in my head is telling me there is a more elegant way to sort through it, hmmm...kelpie
    • more elegant way to sort through it, hmmm...kelpie
    • optimally the ways of sorting would be kind of open source something or other

    • aye, curves I tell you, curves! not 'designers' but designers and progressively less people on either side of them. know what I mean?kelpie
    • mean? that way you'd get the target, and the social culture around the target?kelpie
