Quick thoughts:

- be nice to moderators, they're swamped with us new people moving in from the bird site.

Some accept donations, if you'd like to contribute. I follow @Gargron and @stux for a sense of what it takes to manage this flood.

- Search for useful lists of people to follow, and your timeline shifts from slow, slow, slow to fascinating. I'm about to follow a ton of academic and tech friends.
