As I mentioned, we’re going to be doing a sign up drive for Prime soon. So in The Hive we’re discussing with Prime members what they like, don’t like, why they subscribed and resubscribed. This captures one thing I’m kind of proud of – part of a member’s comment from one of those discussions …
I had zero interest in the Hive before I signed up, just wasn’t all that interested and did not think I would have the time for it. It has become one of my favorite things about the site. It is astonishing how much better a discussion can be when the people participating are actually interested in the heart of a topic and have respect for differing opinions. We all know how fragile that is, having seen it first hand.
The Hive is our Prime discussion forum.

Pew Research is out tonight with a detailed public opinion survey of Ukraine. The results are fascinating and show the limits of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s policy of shaking Ukraine until it breaks, with the hopes of grabbing up the shards in the east. The main takeaways from the poll are that Ukrainians have little faith in the provisional government (solid but not overwhelming support in the west, very little support in the east) and are deeply divided over the question of the status of languages (Ukrainian and Russian). But they appear overwhelmingly opposed to any division of the country. And even in the east there is a general hostility to Russia’s interference in the country’s affairs.
