I like what it's trying to accomplish, but I don't see this as becoming a success.
1. I have no reason to join
2. I will never have a majority of site owners (issue 1 is subordinate to this)
3. Site owners change
4. Who do you really want to get in touch with? The owner? The programmer? Tech support?
5. The barrier to entry stops me.
Personally I'm a bigger fan of humans.txt:
http://humanstxt.org/ http://humanstxt.org/
Even google uses it:
http://www.google.com/humans.txt http://www.google.com/humans.txt
It's a 0-friction way to find out who's behind a site, entirely un-obtrusive, requires the requester give up 0 information.
As a hacker, I have no reason to connect with other website owners. I have lots of reasons to connect with professionals who know what they're talking about.
- combiclickwise 15y agoI didn't know about humans.txt. Thanks for pointing that out. I will study it. From the first look I feel it means to do something different from what I intend to do. In my answer to bsenftner's question below I have explained what I want to accomplish(don't want to repeat it here and clutter the thread). I wonder what you think.
