It would have been better if we could ask the users to update the relevant info right on there profiles. But i guess this way all the willing ppl are just consolidated and you don't have to go hunting them down.
- davidw 16y agoI don't know... all these things seem to end up a bit by the wayside though unless they are actively promoted/ and maintained, which I'm not sure pg is willing to do in terms of linking to it, and I'm not sure I'm willing to do: I have way too many places with information about me on the internet, and adding another one seems redundant, let alone maintaining it. There's got to be a better way... Also, honestly, IRC can be pretty good for this sort of thing if you don't happen upon a really lame channel.
- sidmitra 16y agoI totally agree with you. I think most people are just trying to find another avenue to market themselves. And these posts half the time, are attempts at a little karma. I was trying to consolidate all such lists into one directory, so that we don't keep repeating and duplicating such content. I've linked it above. I would prefer one place for this sort of stuff, HN/IRC, where i can find it if needed. I'm fine with anything that works
- davidw 16y agoNothing wrong with marketing yourself. I just don't want to have to do it in so many places.
