Internet project directory Makerbase, founded by Anil Dash and Gina Trapani, now lets users list the people who have inspired their work.
Makerbase, a site that launched in August as a user-edited, searchable database of Internet creators and projects, has rolled out some updates that make the site more like a social network. People with profiles on Makerbase can now list and tag other makers who have inspired their work, and a new activity stream on the site's homepage will show users which projects their friends have been working on.
