Ask HN: Best way to find HN readers in my local area?
I am trying to find like-minded people in my local area (Sheffield, UK) to meet up with.
I'm sure there are people around here and in other places around the world which aren't major cities that would like to know if fellow HN readers exist in their area. It would be frustrating to find out that you live down the road from someone who was building a startup but never knew they existed!
Is there a service / site that could help with this?
Cheers!

- tommoor 15y agoCheers Colin, Seems like hackrtrackr is showing all of the pointers for a city on top of each other ... so there is no way to find the ones below :-S as I just added myself and now I appear to be the only one there. If only HN included something as simple as a location field in the profile.
- ig1 15y agoTry using the search box to find people mentioning Sheffield, a quick search indicates there's a least a dozen or so HNers there.

- sathishmanohar 15y agoGo to a big crowd, in your local area. and shout IE6. Those who shout back, with mean words are probably HN Readers. /trollsarcasm/
- t-crayford 15y agoI'm in Sheffield (right now I'm in Cupertino, but I'll be back at the start of October). If you want to meet up at some point, drop me an email (this username without the dash @googlemail.com).
