Yes, I'm the founder, but this is what we do best - asking questions about work and getting responses from people who are right there, right now, e.g.

- dferlemann 11y agoIt looks pretty and all. How is it different from LinkedIn? I'm always weary getting myself on another "social network" thing instead in the end getting my data sold - or worse - stolen. (actually I'm not sure which is worse...)
- suttree 11y agoI could talk a lot about how we're different from LinkedIn, and how looking pretty as a website is a hindrance at times, but we're less about what you've done and more about how you do it. For a lot of people things like job titles and descriptions are out of sync with what we do, and we don't really have any good tools to show or share our work. Developers have Github, designers have dribbble, but for everyone else there's not a good tool out there. But, I hear you on the YASN problem, and we're not solely a social product as a result of that.
