I know this is not related to the new profile pages, but it does relate to changes at Github, and I was reminded of it by the "public activity" mentioned in profiles.<p>I'm still rather disappointed at the loss of a useful homepage. I used to have a stream of activity for repositories I watched there (e.g.: rails), but ever since stars were introduced, this is no longer the case. I tried watching the repository again (instead of just starring it), but that results in me getting emails that I can't stop. So I either have to accept that I'll get an endless stream of emails every day along with an updated homepage, or just have a homepage that never changes.<p>I appreciate the work going into Github, but not all of it is for the better.
I rather have the Activity feed as the default view and not the public repositories. Activity is far more dynamic and useful.<p>Now the activity feed is two clicks instead of one. Not a problem, just a slight annoyance.
I like the new profile pages, I think visually they're a nice improvement. Im not sure if I love the new activity streams yet. Do I really need a facebook stream in my github?
For 5+ years, Gravitar wasn't used for anything more than Wordpress sites so I picked my company logo (so I can respond "officially" to reader comments).<p>Now my personal github profile looks like the official company github.
