Geekli.st integrates with Github to let you publish achievements with your code
- clu3 15y agoAfter verifying with my twitter account, here's what I am seeing on twitter "Authorize Geeklist Inc to use your account? This application will be able to: Read Tweets from your timeline. See who you follow, and follow new people. Update your profile. Post Tweets for you." Excuse me? Update my profile? Post tweets FOR ME? Noooo way, thanks
- Scriptor 15y agoNot to forget "Follow new people". Do they have an explanation anywhere for needing all these permissions?
- clu3 15y agoYeah, that one's creepy too
- chrissanz 15y agoWe have pretty high profile geeks on our site, none required much explanation, the site is pretty simple, the article above kinda goes over what the site does as well. We are still in private beta, part of our communication tools include using Geeklist like a twitter client, hence the need for additional access. We don't automatically tweet for you, we are devs too, we hate that shit. Anyway, we have some good people already, like: http://geekli.st/matz http://geekli.st/matz http://geekli.st/rasmus http://geekli.st/rasmus http://geekli.st/rk http://geekli.st/rk Over 14k engineers. If you feel hesitant about the whole twitter thing, wait until we have other options.
- Scriptor 15y agoAh, makes sense if it can be used as a Twitter client as well. I guess it'd be an interesting challenge for Twitter to distinguish between automated Tweets and Tweets you actually posted but using something else. Anyway, I just signed up, looking forward to getting into the private beta!
- emilis_info 15y agoIs there any other option for signing up? I don't use Twitter and don't intend to.
- chrissanz 15y agoFor now, only twitter, after private beta we'll have uid/pwd, linkedin, github and facebook connect.
- webjoe 15y agoSweet. :)
