- shabda 16y agoFocus. I don't think the discussion of Fund Raising in Bangalore would be interesting to all HN users, but I think it will be interesting to people from India, so I would like to have such a focussed group. Also there are many Focussed groups of HN users on Google group. http://www.google.co.in/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=site:groups.google.com+hacker+news http://www.google.co.in/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&...
- jarsj 16y agoCan you point me to atleast one "active" group out there ? http://groups.google.com/group/east-bay-hacker-news http://groups.google.com/group/east-bay-hacker-news, check out the post frequency, member size etc. The use cases you mention are very few and can be easily addressed with HN tags. Example : "HN India : Fundraising event in Bangalore ?" or "HN India : Let's have a meetup in Mumbai." If it's interesting to indian HNers they will upvote it and follow it up. Realize, that starting a group is easy, building a tribe around it is not. There are many things that made people come to HN, Paul Graham, Ycombinator, Startup School, a custom and simple software. Good content came later.
