Brian- Love the concept of this site, and hate I missed your TEDx presentation.

This is just a suggestion - I love the shared login design pattern but it would be nice to create a user profile and allow multiple authentication / social networks for the same account.

Most people will have more than one twitter, facebook, and linkedin account (if not all three). When I signed up to the site via Facebook (my normal method of connecting to social sites), I realized it would probably best to use LinkedIn since I wanted to look like a semi-professional, instead of a getting-tagged-in-crazy-pictures fool (if I had used facebook). LOL. To do that, I had to go delete my account and re-create it. If I had not done this - and if I ever forget and use a different login method - it will create a duplicate account, which is probably not optimal.

I think it would be an improvement to abstract the mechanism behind each user's profile and allow multiple avenues of interaction based on what each user allows.

Let me know if I can do anything to help - I am not super at python, but I am always willing to learn!
