in reply to RFC: "Today I Learned" page

I like the idea of sharing such knowledge, but in a social context such as this, anything worth sharing would be worth commenting on as well. So I'd rather have a section for such things (or perhaps allow such content in Meditations).

That would also allow posters to share more details about why the item is interesting, etc.

    I don't actively disagree; but we have Meditations, so if someone prefers to share in that way, they already can. Having more modes seems like a net positive, generally. (That being said, I would never claim that Today I Learned is impeccable.)

    I believe Meditations is (or should be) much wider open, topically, than the rest of the site. I encourage people to use it as a personal blog. Pretty much no one has yet. Not even me. :-)
    ... Which, by the way, is why I created the User Posts page. And you can embed this on your homenode by going to User Settings > Sections to Include in Your Blog Stream.
