While I'm not against removing the widget from the build and putting it in the widget library, I'd still like us to spend a bit of time talking about how else we are thinking to address the goal of enabling people to make new connections.

I'm assuming that I'm not alone in wanting to support a goal of enabling people to make NEW connections with content, people, and experiences? = nate On Thu, Jun 28, 2012 at 9:58 AM, Lucy Appert <[email protected]> wrote: > Confession: I actually LIKE the carousel widget (I feel like this is the > social equivalent of saying I read the NY Post for the news but anyway :-) > ) and I can see it being used effectively in some of the cases we've got in > our pilot.
