Anyway, we create pools around communities to help facilitate introductions and to help you meet new (awesome) people. Today we have members in over 60 countries and our matching algorithm employes location, interests, experiences, and a slew of other factors to make introductions that we think you'll appreciate.
We can create a HN Pool if you think there's any interest in being introduced to one new HN member each day based on location and common interests. I've often thought this is something I would like.. but maybe I'm weird? Let me know if this is something you'd want to try out.
