Thousands of little YC hatchlings would be incredible. I suppose YC news could be seen as one way of trying to scale the process of information sharing. It also covers advice in that you can pose a question to the community and get good answers usually.

Now how could the connection sharing be scaled? I wonder what would happen if someone was to post "I need introductions to VC's" or "Know any good lawyers?" to YC news. Would they get the help they needed?
