Why doesn't YC make a Hackerbook (HB) to facilitate nerd networking? I read HN cuz I can't stand digg et al. I might use HB cuz I can't stand FaceClutter...uh...Book.


YC isn't in that business really. But as the source is open, we could do it ourselves...


Actually this idea has come up a lot in threads lately, and I've been thinking of adding features of this type. E.g. to help people find jobs.

What features do users want?


I'd like to see custom search by relevant fields, e.g. location, (computer) languages, areas of experience, positions held, interests

Business networking site XING also has user's list what they are currently looking for and offering


Making the user page more into a profile page would be a good start.


What new things should it have?

Beyond that, why not just let the users define their own boxes? Though I'm not really sure what multiple boxes can do that one box can't.
