How do independent developers stay on our radar?
I’ve decided to become one of the micropatrons of Jason Kottke, who has quit his job to do kottke.org as a full-time job. Although I don’t visit his site very often, when I do, I learn alot. I really like what he’s doing, and I believe that just as I support compelling theatre/movies/art, I should support outstanding web developers as well. (Actually, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen any cutting edge theatre or art, but I did see Yesterday this past weekend…)
I hope that Jason manages to keep the love flowing - managing his community of supporters. There’s so much competing for my attention. How do independent developers stay on our radar? I’m OK with an occasional update via e-mail, in case I’ve lost his site in the long list of rss feeds to which I subscribe. Some sort of community like Linked In would be fine as well. Perhaps something like plazes, which features a geographically-dispersed community? It will be interesting to see how Jason maintains his network of supporters.
I wish Jason all the best!
