Rant: Github and Google Plus are not blog platforms! Here, even when I have the userscript[0] to show the full domain names so I know when something is being posted by a user of a company instead of the company itself, it still just shows "github.com" leading me to think it's Github and crew talking about literate programming. (I'll admit, I saw it was raganwald and that gave it away, but still). [0] https://github.com/johngibb/Hacker-News--Show-Subdomains
