this guys is just too awesome.

It is debatable because he was hired to run editorial, but it is true, he came up with the idea and pushed it forward. without him wikipedia wouldn't exists.

that's a good question! you can ask directly on his link http://geekli.st/agrignon/micro/16528

that could be true in some instances, in my experience (and the majority of the time), traditional marketers are not always thinking about the more technical opportunities (and more often than not, they are coming up with awful+old school initiatives). hackers on the other hand are always trying to figure out how to hack something for their own benefit... looking at packets to see if something can be reversed engineered or scanning services that are relevant + popular and could help grow your company. I've been in situation (multiple times) when the marketing person is not even aware of such places. This is why someone who has the technical chops and is dedicated to growth could be very interesting. I would not hire a marketing guy without tech experience

For now, only twitter, after private beta we'll have uid/pwd, linkedin, github and facebook connect.

send me tweet (@csanz), I'll hook up Scriptor.

We 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:

Over 14k engineers. If you feel hesitant about the whole twitter thing, wait until we have other options.

Hi Mike! not wishy washy at all, we are all devs here https://github.com/geeklist run by devs for devs. Go to the about to learn more, but is pretty straight forward... an achievement based street cred builder for developers.. easy.

Here is another link http://thenextweb.com/twitter/2011/08/18/evan-weaver-the-man...

yes http://geekli.st

This article should be banned for lack of references and examples. For those of you looking to learn mongodb check this out http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Production+Deployments

A lot of trolling here, I've never had any issues of missing data. When claiming a db (as big and popular as mongodb) doesn't work, you should include references, company, examples on how to reproduce, etc. Enough said: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Production+Deployments

yes, very true. closer to Erlang or Caml instead. I guess I see the value for a functional programming language written on top of the CRL

Instead of developing a language similar to Java (C#) or similar to Ruby/Python (F#) or investing in companies / ideas they were not successful at (Social Network / MSN 10 years ago), I think they need to bring back the "Bill Gates" innovative spirit... what's the language of choice 5 years from now? what are the hurdles most developers are going through today and how are they solving them?
