I like the idea of a place where people can store things they like? Like the famous Volvo post? Or a bunch of those places with different types of messages? Different subjects or parts? Yet an awards type dealy feels to me like the ultimate embarrassment. People should have a button they can push on their Customizer that says leave me out of that type of stuff. Like a sign they can put on their profile that says "I support the Leave People Alone Club." I don't intend that rudely. Or maliciously. I just know there are a lot of people who HATE fussy things. Social involvements. Who "don't wanna know." These are not party poops, they're just reclusive or uninterested. My wife? She would scream! "Leemee alone, for Pete's sake." Gee. I don't see how this is going to sound good. Or even "okay." "Communication" is not my forte. I won something once? It was one of the worst days of my life. No kidding. And it turns out there are lots of other people who don't like it too, so I think it's worth mentioning. WE just need a "HIDE" button. Or an "I am un-social" Declared Status highlighter to hit. It's like having people call you at home, when you don't want them to. Or poling. Or sample pushers at the grocery store. Or people with microphones, asking you what you think. "I think you're a pest. (Dickhead.)" (Not you, Holly.)
