So aside from the slightly graphics-heavy website, I'm kinda impressed by the offer (and I live in San Francisco).
What it has me thinking is that we should really do this for San Francisco - and not just 'come couch surf' but a consorted effort perhaps around a one day conference or bar-camp style event to showcase and talent match.
The idea would be to attract the developer living in the rest of America (ie not CA, NY or WA/Seattle) who is intrigued about moving here to join a startup. You see folks asking about moving in "Ask HN" threads all the time, so why not organize a specific event?
The economy in SF is fairly hit because of the financial sector and economic downturn - but tech companies of all sizes, from startup to BigCo, are hiring developers and related people to the extent that we can't find enough people. This is a GREAT time to move to San Francisco if you are a dev.
What do others think about running such an event? BarCampOutOfTowner, perhaps?
