Thanks for using slinkset for this. Yet another creative application of our service. We would really love to help get JustHackIt to take off for you. Please feel free to contact me if you have any thoughts or ideas.

Very cool use of SlinkSet.
I guess a further elaboration on the whole YC meets LinkedIn/matchmaker concept would be that it places the people (and their 'compatibility') ahead of the startup idea, which is also what VCs and YC (I think) place priority on.

I don't think JustHackIt will take off
Why? Why don't you make JustHackIt your startup, or at least your muse? With some Google ads it could be, at least, self-sustainable.
Are you looking for a cofounder ;-)
You might want to borrow some ideas from speed geeking: http://facilitation.aspirationtech.org/index.php/Facilitatio...
2 is actually a very interesting idea. I know that among my friends some are interested in different types of startups(music, video, commerce, social networking, etc.). Finding people who want to start a company in the same space would probably be helpful.
I'm surprised by the response to JustHackIt. Already, in 1 hour the site's gotten over 400 unique visitors. Mostly from HN but also coming from Reddit now too.
I don't think JustHackIt will take off, but I do think that if a version of this idea was integrated into HN it could help a lot of people. I'm sure the rockstars here don't need this, but the average startup-rookie on this site could find it helpful.
