What drove the idea of context dependent tips was that we knew we didn't know what was a good idea everywhere (known unknowns). Frankly we couldn't possibly scale that sort of knowledge, but if each member shared a little of what they new the sum value would be massive. We also believe that the knowledge contributed by our users belongs to them, so if they are sharing tips they are made available to everyone. We haven't opened the site up to non-registered people yet, but that is a limitation of engineering not interest. In short order anyone will be able to browse the tip and goal database. Thank you for visiting the site and thank you for writing about us. Let me know how the service is working for you. Ben,
