Hi #Algofam! I’ve been busy creating an unofficial, curated ecosystem directory website for #Algorand projects, and am very pleased to launch it today:

directory.algo.xyz

🧵/1
Until now, the directory has just been a spreadsheet, but I’ve always wanted it to be snazzier.

So, despite being as technical as a turnip I decided to have a stab at building my own website.

/2
I am very much not a coder, so things are pretty basic right now.

But all the details I collated for the spreadsheet version of the directory have been ported over, and I’m happy with how it’s looking and working.

It needs a good info audit, which I'm working on next.

/3
The primary intention of the site is as a hub to explore current projects on #Algorand, and to find out about new ones.

The secondary aim is to protect users and investors by encouraging teams to reveal themselves – especially those in the DeFI space and those with ASAs.

/4
I’ll continue to be active on Twitter, linking to projects I’ve added & trying to persuade teams to reveal themselves, where appropriate.

Not every project needs to be so open, but I believe if someone wants your $ALGO then the least they can do is reveal who they are.

/5
I know there’s an official directory already, but I think there are several problems with it. I’ve outlined these on the ‘Info’ page of the new site.

My hope is that directory.algo.xyz will become a valuable source for exploring the #Algorand ecosystem.

/6
I’ve decided to change the name from ‘Dox Directory’ because the directory isn’t just about unearthing the people behind the teams, and because ‘doxxing’ generally has a more negative meaning.

From now on, it’s just directory.algo.xyz

/7
I've also written a couple of subject guides for the site, which I hope to add to over time.

I'd really appreciate feedback on these regarding their accuracy, as the last thing I want to do is spread incorrect info.

directorydotalgo.xyz/algorand-gover…
directorydotalgo.xyz/algorand-walle…

/8
I hope the #Algofam, both new and seasoned, find it useful. If you spot anything wrong or have any feedback, please DM me.

Cheers!

A few weeks ago I saw this tweet by @JSway1984 about a possible name for a FIFA NFT wallet.
Noticing that @FIFAcollect was available, I grabbed it to avoid someone with bad intentions taking it and potentially messing things up for #Algorand.

/1
Today a video by FIFA came up on my feed, and when looking at it I realised the whole '+' bit would be pretty important branding-wise to FIFA.
So I looked up @FIFAPlusCollect – to find that it was registered in May this year.

/2
@FIFAPlusCollect has 5 followers, & follows 1 account – @RosieLabsGlobal, a 'marketing services' firm.
I took a look at their clients – nothing interesting. So I looked at their team.
