We've intentionally avoided publishing our member list in this fashion for the sake of it becoming a honeypot for things we try to stay away from, like old-skool recruiting and slimy business types looking for "talent" to do their project on equity. Our members don't deserve to be harassed like that.
We're working with a crew at Beehive Baltimore on a system to publish a member "face wall" internally, though! This isn't about finding skills - in fact, we've asked them to scrap that feature completely and just focus on people and their interests rather than skills - but instead helping avoid the awkward "hey man" or "yo!" greetings, and actually help people get to know each other easier. A tool like this is relatively easy to build, but building it to solve an actual problem is the key - finding people is easy, building relationships with them is hard. Having some face->name recognition in a coworking space is something our members really are excited about. We just got access to it today and we'll be blogging about our experiences soon! /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia On Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 1:54 PM, Blair Gordon <[email protected]>wrote: > Is there a directory for co-workers worldwide to place their name,. skills > and such so that others may find them.
