That will come later. (Which reminds me we should probably add "beta" to our logo.) From your years of activism you know that new projects should start with specific, attainable goals and grow and expand as circumstances allow. In the meantime, we appreciate your feedback and patience! Ben, there’s no separate forum, user profiles, or messaging - yet. That will come later.

Foundationally the project builds on the philosophy of social software, yes? But I couldn't find anything like a forum ... I couldn't find anything like user profiles or any form of messaging ... nothing like discussion of platform items here ... heck, you haven't even posted that the platform was complete! I know critique is sufficient grounds for accusations of dis-loyalty and just plain bad attititude ... I've been a street-level activist since '73 and a web activist since '95, I've seen personality politics at work ... but how is it that such a fine slab of programming is ham strung in this way? (<i>"<b>Ham strung</b>" ... to cripple an animal or an enemy by cutting the ham strings, the huge tendons that run from the knee up into the thigh.</i>) I don’t understand.

ThePoint sounds like it resolves the "volunteers dilemma" I read about in some game theory book. Applied to boycotting, it's the idea that unilateral boycotting punishes yourself more than your intended victim. ThePoint allows zero self-punishment unless and until the victim is majorly punished.

The "best" can change every day, for minor reasons or no reason at all. The online directories are either outdated, or tainted because of referral fees offered by some providers. Tech listserves usually dedicate a good amount of time every week to arguing about this! Right now, slicehost is the top among new startups :-) Vanessa,
