I like this. All products should expose the people and personalities behind them. I hate the idea that products simply emerge from faceless cogs in a monolithic corporation.

In addition to giving a product more personality, it will keep developers more personally involved in the product and users due to the greater sense of ownership and identity.

Agreed. I was incredibly disappointed that zuckerberg "thanked" his developers at the end of the f8 presentation, but neglected to have a slide with their names.

This is one thing the film industry has right... it's nice to say to my friends and family "hey, if you sit around til the end, you'll see my name".
