What is Namesake?
Namesake is a community for real conversation. It's easy to find the people and topics that make life interesting — discover new people, build trust and improve your life.
Conversation
Namesake is community built around real-time conversation. Anyone can start and participate in conversations about topics like news, best practices, questions, events, videos and ideas.
Conversations on Namesake are by default available to everyone in the community — but you can also hold conversations that are private or by invitation only, which allows only selected community members to participate.
Expertise
It's easy to find people with whom to hold a good conversation since each person in the community adds up to 10 areas of their expertise. Conversations and opportunities are labeled by the community.
Experts are listed on topic pages that lists all conversations and endorsed community members for that topic.
Endorsements
By adding expertise, community members can endorse each other to build reputation and trust.
By being considered an expert, you are more likely to be invited to relevant conversations.
Profiles
Highlight your strengths, show off what you're working on and allow anyone to start a conversation with you in real-time through your Namesake profile.
This isn't your normal profile. Everything you contribute in the Namesake is automatically rolled into your profile, so it's easy for other community members to learn about you.
