The codeXplode team realizes that people (yes that includes programmers) are pretty attached to the whole idea of social networking. Also we feel it would fit in nicely with the ideas and plans for codeXplode. Therefore, codeXplode has plans to implement social networking into the site. This will allow users to follow other programmers and projects to easily stay up to date with there favorite projects and developers.
Tracking the development of a project or the users behind that project will be much like friending/following someone on Facebook or Google+. You will simply add them. Once they make a change, that change will appear on your feed.
If a project (that you are following) admin were to change the title of that project, then you would see an entry stating such on your feed. Also, if a project's member were to commit a new change, you would be notified of that as well.
Likewise, if you are 'friends' (or following) another user, then if they were to change one of there project's title, then that would appear on your feed. If they commit a change to a project they are a member of then you would see a feed entry for that.
There will be many other types of feed entries. The two mentioned here were just basic examples I'm using to show how social networking will work into codeXplode's features. I will have more in depth entries about codeXplode's social networking once we begin active development on those areas.
