Hi Barb,

Hubz is actually a desktop tuel. It's really Commentz, but with a special page "dripper".

I'm going to start getting into Commentz and Hubz more, not sure when, depends on how Godfather goes.

But what Commentz/Hubz both do, is allow users to paste in text and have it create a web page, as well as an RSS pheed. It will then ping the pheed.

Basically, it creates "blogless blogs" and combines the power of blog, RSS in ping, while working with static html pages.

The "page dripper" is what seperates Hubz from Commentz. It uses a lot of random elements to relieve as many fingerprints as possible.

Both allow you to add the ability for readers to add comments to static html pages and both allow you to moderate comments from one central desktop "command center" across multiple domains.

It also allows your readers to create and add their own pages/articles, based on your templates form more User Generated Content. And these new pages are also moderated from the command center.

In addition, user comments and new pages are added to RSS pheeds, then pinged, with links added to a main index page.
