Supernice feed that is simple for me to use. I clicked the buttons and everything seemed easy enough to understand. I don't really get some of the comments here as I find the UI easy to understand as in I clicked everything, it worked, then I understood it.same as I do for every new site I encounter..
(Disclaimer: Friend of one of the guy's behind this.)
Whenever I see a panel on the left of some main content I expect it to do something to that content.
Perhaps the problem is that the Dribble side feels like the main content for the page. I mean, you can even hide the left panel to let the "main content" take over the whole screen!
On official US Govt site, it says you need an award, e.g. nobel prize for O1. But that is a complete exaggeration as many people have rather average creditentials getting the O1. Having a good degree is enough for several people. Everything in addition helps.

What is the motivation for Kicktrolling? Who would a kicktroller be? I don't get it.
i) Person who just wants to be a dick.
ii) Person with personal vendetta against the project creator
iii) Company looking to fend off competitors much the way of clicking lots of links to burn through a competitors ppc on adword.
There's a lot of hate on the internet for many kickstarter projects - "who would fund this crap?!", "how is this receiving money?!". This sort of 'trolling' is probably coming from people who don't want to see certain projects succeed. I'm sure it would happen a lot more if you didn't require proof that you actually had that much money in your bank.
