I think the worst problem was the terrible UI.

For example I remember how odd the two column layout looked. I'm not sure anyone has studied this, but it seemed obvious to me from the first day it was a huge mistake.

It seems like a small thing but I think there is a reason everyone (Facebook, Twitter, etc) is using a single narrow column to feed content to the scrolling user. My hypothesis is that it takes less cognitive effort to parse.

It was obvious. Vic even promised "oh just you wait, we have great plans for that space", followed by years of nothing.

But surely vicg wouldn't tell a lie?!
