User blog comment:Toughpigs/My Home -- new feature launches on Wednesday/@comment-149-20090923180541

Here's the problem: Users are readers too. Even the most dedicated user don't always want to be editing, and these are in the vast minority. Most logged-in users come to a site for information, just like most anons.

If I go to the address of a wiki, I expect to get the front page. It's really that simple. My Home is a totally different page, focussed on user activity rather than content. It has its place, but that place is not in my face.

It's changes like this that make people feel they don't have control over their own sites - a strong disincentive to contribution.
