off-topic, but since we're talking about github pages.. i own github.id, and i'm thinking of making "linkedin for github users", do you guys think there's a market for that?
- tsm 11y agoWouldn't there be huge copyright issues with that?
- krallja 11y agoNo. "GitHub" is a trademark, not a copyrightable work.
- brandonwamboldt 11y agoThat's a clear violation of GitHub's trademark so you'd almost certainly receive a C&D (GitHub legally has to protect their trademark or they could lose it).
- mellett68 11y agoLegal issues aside, github already offers social features, what features would you offer that would enhance that existing functionality?
- ozten 11y agoI agree with brandonwamboldt, mellett68, and tsm; the domain name is useless. If you had a different business name... I think a site that summarizes someone's github contributions from a recruiter / interviewer's perspective would be very helpful. Poking around github to research a candidate is time consuming. Perhaps a more useful one page snapshot could be created. X profile views is free and you sell recruiters a per-company subscription fee.
