First @professorlemeza Takes Manhattan...

...then he takes Berlin. Here's my best guess as to Brett Camper's 5-step plan for world domination, 8-Bit NYC-style:

  1. Come up with awesome idea
  2. Build proof of concept on open source platform
  3. Kickstart project
  4. Build buzz
  5. Rule world

With $3100 raised in 2 days, I'd say he's succeeding so far.

Gist: A Place Where Social Coders Git Together

You may not know it yet, but Gits are a key part of your social media experience. Across platforms, a number of high-profile projects — Android, Digg, jQuery, Ruby on Rails...the list goes on — use Gits for revision control.

Now there's a community designed to make it easy for coders to collaborate on Git repositories efficiently and effectively. Part of a freemium social coding service called GitHub (they host heavy-hitters like Facebook, Yahoo and TechCrunch), Gist is a simple way to share snippets and pastes with other developers.

Get the idea? Check out the GitHub blog for more on how social coders roll.
