I think Babble has gotten smaller now than a few years ago. People have noticed Babble has become a "ghost town".
Dr. Bob is probably trying to save Babble by making it more visible and by helping new people find Babble.
Check the archives. Babble was much busier 5 years ago. Since then, member numbers have dwindled. I think having more people (but not hordes) is better for Babble.
Also Babble used to be a lot more visible in Google searches. More people found Babble through Google 5 years ago. Google changed things so that Babble is no longer easily found by Google. I think that is why Dr. Bob is trying out the Facebook and Twitter thing, to make it so that Babble can be found by more people.
If you liked Babble more 5 years ago, then you liked Babble more when it was more visible and more newbies were here. Dr. Bob is just trying to make Babble vibrant again like back then.
