Well, here we go.
I need your opinion on whether we need the following features at Englishtips:
BLOGS (every user gets a blog hosted at Englishtips where s/he can blog )
Dangers: Can become a mess or tricky in the long run, as users may want to start sharing links at their own blogs instead of ET :)
SOCIAL NETWORK (registered users can create/join groups, become friends with each other, comment in each other's profiles, etc etc)
Sounds very interesting for me, as this can help us build even stronger communities grouped by common interest.
Please tell us what you think (POLL INSIDE!)
COMMENTS IN BOTH RUSSIAN AND ENGLISH ARE WELCOME!

Young David Morgan, gifted heir apparent to a South African fortune, rebels against the boardroom future mapped out for him with sickening predictability by his family. Drawn to the sky as though to his natural element, he trains to become a brilliant jet pilot and, fleeing from his home and all it stands for, sets out to make his own life.

Sink or Float: Thought Problems in Math and Physics is a collection of problems drawn from mathematics and the real world. Its multiple-choice format forces the reader to become actively involved in deciding upon the answer. The book s aim is to show just how much can be learned by using everyday common sense. The problems are all concrete and understandable by nearly anyone, meaning that not only will students become caught up in some of the questions, but professional mathematicians, too, will easily get hooked. The more than 250 questions cover a wide swath of classical math and physics. Each problem s solution, with explanation, appears in the answer section at the end of the book.

A notable feature is the generous sprinkling of boxes appearing throughout the text. These contain historical asides or little-known facts. The problems themselves can easily turn into serious debate-starters, and the book will find a natural home in the classroom.
