Why GitHub Should Be Next on Empire Avenue’s List

Empire Avenue is a great place place to see someone’s connections across the social web. From one page I am able to visit a person’s Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and more. However, there’s one site that I’d really enjoy having as well.

GitHub is a site for people who want to host and collaborate on open source projects. I keep quite a few projects there myself, including my GitHub app for Android, Hubroid, as well as my Empire Avenue extension for Google Chrome, P³.

I believe GitHub would make a great addition to the array of social websites supported by Empire Avenue. Empire Avenue could track how often you participate in other open source projects as well as your own.

Just like Empire Avenue has encouraged me to become more involved with Twitter, YouTube, my blog, and other sites across the Web, it could also encourage others to become more involved in the open source realm.

Heh, yes, Foursquare too. But I believe they are already working to implement that. :)
