Sourceforge launches Geeknet
- GeneralMaximus 17y agoIt took me a while to realize what this was about. They could have made that "Learn More" button more prominent. That said, I'm intrigued about what this will mean for SourceForge and friends.
- pyre 17y agoI think that this is the more informative link: http://geek.net/press/sourceforge-inc-changes-its-name-to-geeknet-inc/ http://geek.net/press/sourceforge-inc-changes-its-name-to-ge... The only 'Learn More' link that I saw looked like it was about a specific product, and not about 'what is geek.net?'
- maelstrom 17y agoThey did this before with OSDN, wonder if they'll have any more success this time around.
- teilo 17y agoAt first I thought this was a bad idea, given that Sourceforge is such a well-established and recognized brand. I see now it's not Sourceforge that is being renamed, but the parent company, Sourceforge, Inc.

- witten 17y agoWho would've thought that VA Linux Systems would get out of the server business to become an ad company?
- elblanco 17y agoThis is probably a good idea. Thinkgeek has been floating the parent company for a very long time now, effectively funding all of the other efforts.
- zaidf 17y agoWow I just found out my uni friend's dad is on sourceforge's Board of Directors. Would've never known!
