Is this your card?<\/h1>\n

\"\"Geeklist hopes to bring developers together and get them showing off their talents by allowing them to create ‘cards’ with their achievements on them. Cards can be collaborative, siting all the contributors to a given project or achievement, and other Geeklist users can ‘high five’ the card and its contributors. Geeklist is integrated with GitHub, another developer community resource which allows users to upload, share, and discuss their coding projects. With this integration, every time Geeklist users push code to github, they will automatically post a micro-achievement, the geeklist equivalent of a status update.\u00a0In addition to boasting successes, Geeklist hopes to bring what some may consider a relatively recluse community together.<\/p>\n

I geeked out. Will you high five me?<\/h1>\n

While I may not be a geek, I didn’t hesitate to throw up my geek achievements on geeklist – you can check them out here<\/a>. The site is still in private beta, but a little birdy told me that if you go to this link<\/a> and type in paris<\/strong>, you can skip the queue and start geeking out.
