All that said, I love them both dearly.
On the bright-side at least the project is MIT. Good ol' MIT.
Trust is a slow process.
Edit: I should also say it's neat to see an apache supported project in this space, more tooling around these services are very useful.
In chrome 32.0.1700.77, clicking join did nothing, it only scrolled to the top of the page.
Also, I'd love to see a quick video introduction. I like the concept.
It wasn't his banking account being phished, you should read the linked articles before commenting on things.

Days later, the Minister of Training, Colleges, and Universities Brad Duguid got involved and let the program continue under a careful watch, after some restructuring.

That said, I toggle between chiclets and a kenesis.
Although not mentioned there is that I exclusively limit work-in-progress to one item.
> 2. It's always available / It never crashes
> 3. Awesome Weekly Summary
> 4. Take notes anywhere
On 1.) This is something ultimately up to oneself, I could have a larger notebook, or use multiple pages. Brevity more over is about self-discipline in accurately describing tasks. It can also be double edged in that not enough information or vagueness may increase effort require. This is something digital tools can help alleviate by allowing for additional information (todos, comments, etc).
On 2.) Sure, paper beats the redundancy of digital or online tools, but let's not forget about the power and utility they can provide as well.
On 3.) Digital tools by contrast can work around this exceeding well and in detail (calendars, weekly iterations, etc).
Finally on 4.) Sure, I won't argue against papers innate redundancy, but I feel like digital services convenience me just as well with mobile & web apps (as long as I can get the full site though :P).
Anywho, my long drawn out point is : these strengths can be applied elsewhere, and just as well. For instance, I use Trello as a scratchpad about various things I have going on. I've got about 11 or so person boards. Writing things down and applying a method to limit work in progress is really the corner stone of getting things done in my opinion. Just my two cents.
But, you know, a merchant wouldn't stop selling pickaxes during a gold rush, just because the customer isn't profiting. I wouldn't expect online retailers too either.
My point is: a source-based approach is not the tool to blame for consistency, it's used with lazy concern, and that's a mistake onto the crafter.
I work on two different platforms as one. Virtualization achieves that.
