I'm just trying to be altruistic. As i understand these website thingys, the only way to support and effort like this one is to sell ads. The only way to sell ads is to promise eyeballs. the only way to effectively deliver eyeballs is to be sure that you can say N number of people saw _this_ page this month and probably will again next month. From my experience with net ad agencies ( I have had personal dealings with Doubleclick ) they like you to be able to say, "everyone who visits my site for any reason will see _this_ ad-space, garunteed."

With that all said, if we all have our own bookmarks into the site, we defract the traffic that comes through, therefore by having the system assign us a 'home page' vroom can always be sure to plop an ad in a space where _every_ monk will see it, and therefore increase the sales appeal. Therefore ensure a long life to this wonderful stuff :)

Maybe it's just because I work closely with a sales organization, but I think about this type of stuff...

-- I'm a solipsist, and so is everyone else. (think about it)
