What is Contribupendence Day? I mean, besides a word that apparently is not in my spell checker dictionary?
Well, according to Jeff Blankenburg, it's a day. Specifically July 3rd. More specifically, it's a day set aside for all of us in the development community to use those often overlooked features of social networking sites (like Plaxo and LinkedIn) and write something nice things about your peers.
So, on July 3rd., pick a few people who's work in the community you've appreciated in the past and write a glowing review (or just a few nice words) about them.
So, is this just another made-up holiday?
No! Well, yes. Sort of. I mean, we don't get the day off or anything, BUT we also don't have to mail out cards or buy gifts for people or anything. I mean, you can have a cook-out or something. If you want. That would be kind of cool....
Anyway, I've picked my five people. Have YOU?
