Y Combinator used to ask for your Slashdot handle as part of your application for startup funding. Slashdot was assumed to be the place where technies chatted, taking over from Usenet before it. Interestingly, by 2010, Y Combinator had switched to asking for Facebook and Twitter IDs. I don't know what they ask for today.
