Why not have both? Github isn't a social network. I frequently get contacted by people through LinkedIn because of the network aspect of LinkedIn. We both know the same person so they trust me rather than me just being a random name on the internet. They probably found me by searching through their LinkedIn network.
- petepete 12y ago> Github isn't a social network Isn't it? I can join, commit no code, fill out a profile, create and join groups, add (well, follow) friends. It's not Facebook, but it appears to tick most of the social network boxes.
- freshhawk 12y agoYeah, good point. I guess I just don't think about it that way because you I go there to browse code rather than people.
- spbaar 12y agoCan you message people?
- naturalethic 12y agoI kinda wish it had this feature.
- wldlyinaccurate 12y agoIf people want to be messaged through GitHub, they'll put their email address on their profile.
