I'd certainly be interested in such a network, though some questions of intentions and differentiation arise quickly, e.g. How would it be different from existing sites, like, ummm, HN? or Forrst.com?

Presumably we'd also want some way to find people quickly - how to organize that? Some dimensions would include technology preferences, time/availability, stage of startup/work, one's One True Editor, etc.

Have you seen this spreadsheet of people looking for co-founders? http://spreadsheets0.google.com/ccc?key=t1_0CjyeF5QqMwgh6AFG...

I'd like to create a community like HN (intelligent like minded people), with more interaction and easier ways of communicating with your fellow hacker. Here on HN we can communicate through comments or email, but I think it would be a little more convenient to have a built in messaging system/forum/Q&A.

Also, I think it'd be cool to have something almost like eHarmony for hackers. Matching hackers up with other hackers interested in working on the same types of projects.

I hadn't heard of Forrst.com before, so I've applied so I can check it out. I hadn't heard of techcofounder.com either, but there's no built in messaging system and it seems a little unorganized.
