Ordered List is a GitHubber

I was surprised that this acquisition includes Ordered List's products (SpeakerDeck and Gaug.es specifically). Assuming they don't get shut down, now Github can host your conference talks and provide analytics (built-in repo analytics anyone?) - in addition to hosting your wiki, bug tracker, code repository, and blog.<p>I think this could be HUGE for Github as they position themselves as the one stop shop for developers.<p>I can see six months down the line that every major conference is posting their collection of slide decks on Github. I can see tight integration with your repos and analytics ("See how this commit affects your conversion rate") and maybe even a "Start A/B test between these two branches" button.

I hadn't known about gaug.es before, will have to check that out. Notice that the post says:<p><pre><code> All Ordered List products are now GitHub products. </code></pre> I take that to mean that gaug.es, speakerdeck, and harmony aren't going anywhere, i.e. this wasn't <i>just</i> a "talent acquisition", it's the combination of two profitable businesses joining forces.<p>I get warm and fuzzy seeing bootstrapped businesses grow.

What a brilliant acquisition. Five talented individuals with a proven record of building beautiful software together. Congrats to both parties.

I really like <a href="http://gaug.es/" rel="nofollow">http://gaug.es/</a> and have been using it for quite a while. Clean, clear, crisp interface.

I hadn't heard about SpeakerDeck before. It's certainly a nicer viewing experience than SlideShare.

Really looking forward to all the awesome integration between GitHub and the Ordered List products.

As a Gaug.es user, I think my normal reaction to an acquisition would be negative. But I really trust GitHub because I know they make great things.<p>Looking forward to seeing these products improve (they are fantastic already!)

My favorite part about this is how awesomer the Internet is going to be.
