I agree with Jeff's senitments that these ideas aren't bad. In fact, a little more exposure to mainstream audiances can only help the platform. The execution is horrid. The dashboard has made less and less sense as time has gone by and there needs to be a serious sit down look at the organization of the dashboard. 
 
Also, does anyone find it ironic that they are implementing all these features which are web-based ideas, and yet the platform is still missing a web browser?
