Any particular reason the main site defaults to Philly? Also, what is the utility of grouping users by physical location? Novelty?

It would be cool to have an input of my account and have it spit out users that live near me that have contributed to projects I own or contributed to projects I also have contributed to or am watching. It would be fun to meet up with some devs in person. Really taking the 'social' context of coding to the next level.

Looking to hire a local programmer would be one use.

Ah, this makes sense. However I'd echo the question above about how the cities were chosen.
