These are two great points. In my case, after many years working on a single project, I have found myself job hunting recently. The one question I hear repeatedly is "have you checked out Hidden Tech?". So while I came here snooping for a job, I discovered a portal with a wonderful mission that seems to have foundered. That is, unless what is truely hidden about HT is the lists and their potential to keep us in contact with one another. Along those lines, I guess the website has attracted a new visitor this month :)
