Based upon all the requests for international users I've added that capability, so feel free to sign up. I've also altered the interface based upon some other suggestions.

PG: Can you please add the hacktrakr link with the other (jobs | leaders) links on the top of the page. I see many benefits to this: 1. That way, even if this link is not on the first page, visitors to Hacker news have an idea of where the end-users are coming from 2. There are more off line Hacker news meet-ups 3. Since, YC has no plans of starting programs outside of the US, the # of visitors from various countries would be a good sign for YC clones Thanks,

  A more permanent solution might be to have a "Community Wiki" link that goes to a site we can all add to. Useful third party stuff like this could be listed there.

dotter, It's great that you were able to so quickly improve HackrTrackr. The last time I looked at it, it was a little unpolished. It's all quality now. Great work!

so once you find someone near you, how are you supposed to get in touch?

  I guess put a note to new users, if you sign up make sure you put contact info in your YC profile. right? Interestingly I looked up all 5 people in my area (Maryland, US) and none of them had anything in their profiles filled out. For shame! ;-)

    "... if you sign up make sure you put contact info in your YC profile ..." I added something like - http://hackrtrackr.com/state.php?region=&country=AU http://hackrtrackr.com/state.php?region=&country=AU -  the first is the hackrtrackr url for you area, the second is a microformat lat/lon.
