(FYI this conversation has no impact on the acceptance or not of the
proposal .. just my curiosity. So if you feel there's a better place for

When you say its really a tool to discover right people can you elaborate
on what that means? Is there some protocol or do you tag yourself with
stuff and then others discover you or ??
I did visit the site and log in with my OpenID but that didn't make any
more sense; looks like the twitterfox client I use :).
Thanks,
Sanjiva.
