Every couple of weeks something like this shows up: a map with HN users, a Linkedin or Facebook group, a website with various twists, ... Did any of them every get any traction? This fragmentation is hurting all attempts at facilitating more interaction between readers (in as far as it's necessary...)

a map with HN users

Start here. All you need to do is match up HN usernames with their geo-cooredinates, and dump the coordinates into a Google map.

Then at least you'd have an idea where the clusters are, and can work from there on how to setup a meeting (maybe via Meetup.com which is pretty good for this task btw).

how would you get the geocoordinates of hacker news users? I don't see it in the about profile, do you mean asking them for it?

Interesting point about the fragmentation. Perhaps integrating all these HN services could be helpful...
