(I'm nomail atm, but I saw this and wanted to mention it.)

Peter Merholz mentions the cubes in his 21 May entry about online
communities and sociology:

The quote is:

"J.C.'s point reminded me of Evolt.org. They have a delightful status
marker, their "cubes". Immediately upon clicking to an article, you know
the level of devotion of the community member."

I think it's interesting that they interpret it as a measure of
"devotion", not activity. I also like the adjective "delightful" for the
the cubes.

Anyway -- back to figuring out how to replace two critical people who
quit within days of each other ...
