Like somewhere I've seen: MySpace goes Windows 8!
I think the hackerbook is kinda a good idea. But people like us would rather use forums and IRC IMHO. Something like hackerbook would be full of skids REALLY quick, and fags like Anon would ruin it with their gay "hacktivism" propaganda.
With proper captcha's and no boards at all, just social feed, that doesn't happen a lot.
So true. But at the same time it would be a nice place to share our lives instead of posting in the random board. Idk bout you lot, but I feel more comfortable sharing what's going on in my life with you all than I do on Fb with my irl friends. They just don't get what 3/4 of what I'm saying or where I'm coming from, sure I still talk to them and like to stay up to date with their lives. But when I start posting about I haf a rough day cause I had to image 50 HDs or because the config for my cisco switch was incorrect, I don't many if any replies lol. Same goes for links and stuff that I share. It would be kinda cool to have a place to do that, while still keeping somewhat anonymous. Like it could display location if you wanted, so you could meet others from the area. But users would still use handles instead of names. Post pics of hardware and screenshots instead of pics if themself doing the duckface. That sorta thing.
Idk. I think it woukd be cool, and could even be an invite only sorta deal to cut down on skiddies, though I think that would ruin it. And rules could state no anon propaganda, you can post hacks you did as anon or w/e. But even if they did post that shit, real hackers would just unfriend them. So they would effectively, over the period if a few months, be talking skiddie/propaganda shizz only to themselves.
Just an idea though, and before you go saying "well make one then" keep in mind I dislike web based programming and stuff. I mean if I can get a team of 5+ people who know what's what and are dedicated... Then yea, I might look into it. Otherwise, ill just sigh wistfully and say "what if"
Been there, done that. Had 40 members in my "HackerBook-like" website. No need to code, there are
scripts suited for that. In fact, I had fixed some security flaws on the script I used (XSS, etc). It wasn't big hit because I didn't advertise it and the domain name wasn't the best, even though I'm grateful the owner borrowed it to me. Then it appeared "House of Hackers" in a NING network. They had like 1200 members at the time I remember. If you make one I'll be joining, and how I'd like it to see it succeed, but remember that if we are hackers, that's a good way to drudge by excessively socializing. That's perhaps why many didn't join when I attempted it, they were all busy with stuff whilst I was into drudge.
In theory, a social network for hackers, sharing, developing, loving and caring is a good idea. In practice, it is still a good idea, yet it doesn't work out as planned. Or rather, since I'm no social media expert (and I won't ever be, I personally don't like it), I wasn't able to make it work. If you attempt, I will try to help, though.
