For technical contributors: Collect your web footprint on Mashedge and put on your resume
First of all, thanks to all the contributors who answer technical questions in this forum. This forum has helped me many a time as I was building my website http://www.mashedge.com with ruby-on-rails. I have always wondered if the volunteers here get recognition and credit for their contributions here and to open source, I mean in your current and next job. How do you communicate to your potential employers that you have answered somebody''s question here or checked in code over there? What data can you give potential employers for them to evaluate your web contributions? It so happens, that my website - http://www.mashedge.com - can help contributors in a tiny little way. Collect your career-related web footprint - links to your blog posts, blogs, videos, slideshows, profiles, open-source contributions, references in news articles, talks at conferences etc in one place. Capture your web footprint in a Mashedge web book and put the link to the Mashedge web book on your resume. This helps potential employers to take a quick look at your web contribution without the need for them to dig through the search engine results.
