By Scott Knaster, Google Developer
Relations Hello, esteemed Google Code Blog readers! My name is Scott Knaster, and
I’m the new editor of this blog. I’m interrupting the usual flow of posts to let you know
about some new things happening around here. This blog has the company’s name on it, but of
course, like all blogs, it’s written by individual people, to be read by
other individual people, like you. We want to do a little more to celebrate that, starting
with these small steps:
We’re adding a photo and some info
about each post’s author. Googlers get around, to hackathons, conferences, and GTUGs, and now you’ll have faces to match up with
names when we meet in real life.
We’ll spend more time responding to
comments. As always, we encourage and appreciate your thoughtful, on-topic
comments.
We’ll be tweeting more at @googlecode over on Twitter, too. And you
can find a list of Google developer-related Twitter accounts here (choose Developers
from the Category drop-down).
I’ll be hanging around here a lot. Think of
me as the host of a big, geeky dinner party. Mostly I’ll be helping edit posts written by
others—experts who work on the products they post about—but I’ll also write a few posts
myself.
I’ve been working with APIs and platforms for a long time, mostly
by writing docs about how to use them. Platforms are full of promise, but they’re only
interesting and worthwhile when people build on them.
Please email me
at sknaster@google.com if you have any
thoughts or feedback for improving this blog. Or, just leave a comment on this post.
