Honey, I shrunk the list of pods...
Please don't be seduced by the title, it's not that ;)
What I want to draw your attention to is the following List of pods When people see this, they have an unpleasant reaction (I asked some): "what the fuck is that?"; "why would I need to know those details?"; "what about podadmins?"; "why would I trust those servers?"
I suggest we make the lists of pods more user friendly and transparent in a social media sense. We could add for instance a link to the podadmin (not to his/her real name, if she wants to be anonymous, but to a short presentation of herself - like, hey, I'm podadmin X, I like this and that, welcome to my pod) or a printscreen of "why is this pod different from others". I believe that would make joining diaspora* more entertaining and provocative!

A survey kind of filter with questions like their country would be awesome too. Closed pods should be hidden by default. We should offer them nearest pod. Some kind of rating for privacy laws per country would be great too.

The major thing is the header line has to be frozen, it's annoying figuring out what's what. Besides changing the overall look, "Open" and "Closed" should be colored. The map is okay, but the link to return to the table disappears when I go to it.

Agree, the list was fine with 5 pods, its a useless mess now. Some sort of auto picker using my or Jason's json feed would make a lot more sense now that the lists are large.

I think we should make the pod choosing process easier and tell users what they all offer. We could also have separate pages for different pods with more details
