Seriously, there will obviously be thousands of comments during polling day (<a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/9642624/Could-Hurricane-Sandy-delay-the-US-election.html">or days</a>), and the vote counting night. Or nights and days. There's a few election related threads ongoing, and the mods on mod island are currently setting a "very high bar" for new FPPs in this area. As a MEV*, how will MetaFilter work/what's the procedures during the voting and counting phases in relation to (a) starting new FPPs and (b) a prolonged vote and count resulting in several days of the USA figuring out who is the next President? Bit concerned about a ten thousand comment thread (quite possible) if it's all funneled into one thread. Or trying to follow a myriad of rapidly created new threads if it's at the other extreme and all manner of things kick off at the same time (voting problems, riots, delays, lots and lots of lawyers etc). <small>*MEV = MetaFilter Election Virgin</small> tag:metatalk.metafilter.com,2012:site.22151 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 06:44:07 -0800 comments election FPP house MeFi Metafilter posts president senate threads US Wordshore Killer tools for a killer post? http://metatalk.metafilter.com/21512/Killer%2Dtools%2Dfor%2Da%2Dkiller%2Dpost What are your techniques and tools for making a killer post? I have a desire to start making somewhat regular mefi posts that have lots of substance and links... I know I can use bookmarks to do some of the work, but I've also come across <a href="http://www.thebrain.com/">PersonalBrain</a> (endorsed by Mr. Connections himself, James Burke)... What I want to know is if there are any other "knowledge organization"/research tools that can help organize information. Do any of you folks have a preferred research technique/process/flow? One topic that I'm wanting to do a post on has some seeming scarce source materal online (due to it being in another language) and I'm wondering if hitting up a library and asking a librarian for some help would be a benefit, does anyone ever do that?

AskMes? MetaTalk posts? I'm wondering because, surely, I'm not the only who's hit refresh, only to find that nothing new has happened and then slowly retreat back into the lonely darkness. tag:metatalk.metafilter.com,2010:site.19201 Mon, 26 Apr 2010 15:12:14 -0800 gap lonelydarkness mefi metafilter posts reductiondesign Nesting posts http://metatalk.metafilter.com/17633/Nesting%2Dposts Posts within posts? I was doing a little digging around the MeFi archives today and found <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/24048/zoetropes-praxinoscopes-kinetescopes-amp-other-precinema-diversions">a great post on pre-cinema devices</a> from <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/user/15971">madamjujujive</a>. A few comments into the post <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/user/14259">snez</a> drops in all disappointed, saying he'd been working on a pre-cinema post himself. He then goes ahead and <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/24048/zoetropes-praxinoscopes-kinetescopes-amp-other-precinema-diversions#448549">contributes</a> <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/24048/zoetropes-praxinoscopes-kinetescopes-amp-other-precinema-diversions#448571">everything</a> he'd been working on, effectively making a post within a post. I've definitely seen this type of thing before, though I can't think of any other examples off the top of my head and can't imagine how to find more on my own. So I'm asking, Do you know of other similar occurences? tag:metatalk.metafilter.com,2009:site.17633 Fri, 17 Apr 2009 17:15:09 -0800 comments mefi meta nesting posts carsonb hugs all round http://metatalk.metafilter.com/16546/hugs%2Dall%2Dround I think it's about time Kattullus got a pat on the back for a staggering output of <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/activity/16000/posts/mefi/">consistently excellent posts</a>. tag:metatalk.metafilter.com,2008:site.16546 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 15:20:37 -0800 kattullus mefi post posts shoutout UbuRoivas Feeling a little dizzy http://metatalk.metafilter.com/14445/Feeling%2Da%2Dlittle%2Ddizzy Is <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/62378/Virtuoso-Vertiginousness">today</a> <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/62376/Speaking-of-vertigo">vertigo</a> <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/62374/Ironworkers-Above-The-City">day</a> on MetaFilter?
