Google's Humans.txt
- Touche 13y agoWhat an unhuman humans.txt.
- arnley 13y agoThen what do you think of this one: http://sonetin.com/humans.txt http://sonetin.com/humans.txt :)
- sarahallen 13y agoIs this a weird marketing ploys to get geeks to look at their job postings?
- nostrademons 13y agoThis is Google participating in a joke that made its way around the Internet a few years ago: http://humanstxt.org/ http://humanstxt.org/ The joke is itself a play on the "robots.txt" protocol that sites use to indicate whether they may be crawled by search engines.
- shliachtx 13y agoSee: http://www.github.com/humans.txt http://www.github.com/humans.txt
- jsdalton 13y agoI'm not sure why you're referring to it as a "joke." Humans.txt is definitely an earnest effort to standardize a means of giving the people behind building and maintaining a website credit for their work.
- mmahemoff 13y agoHumansTXT is not just a joke though. It's like movie credits for programmers. Google was quick to add it, though I'd hoped they would have enhanced it a bit by now. At least it hasn't washed away. Original: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2522220 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2522220
- deeths 13y agoShouldn't the humans.txt mirror the robots.txt and give humans permission to use the website and explain how?

- unfunco 13y agoI personally like the Disqus humans.txt file: http://disqus.com/humans.txt http://disqus.com/humans.txt Edit: Also, I'm just getting a 404 on the linked Google humans.txt file.
- elwell 13y agoIt's not really practical to have a proper list of credits for a company like Google. I feel some people are going overboard with Google-bashing.
