			- [[2007]] was when [[mathew]] started thinking things weren't going well
		- [[mathew]] got into the knowledge management space because of the difficulty of sharing: bookmarks, articles, posts
			- [[myhub]] came from the idea of aggregating all these sources and offering tools for others to do so

			- the currently [[myhub]] is [[v1]]

			- re: [[personal knowledge management is bullshit]]
				- agree in that [[long form writing]] (setting a format, a deadline, etc.)
