You've completely eschewed the conventional norms in the "social networking" scene while still maintaining the core essence of what makes them awesome (especially the "25 things about me" facebook phenomenon); If that isn't relavent to hacker culture, I don't know what is.

I guess. I'd find it more impressive if we'd managed to connect users using a similarly skewered method, but we didn't. (Even if we'd let you connect via similar answers, it would still be following convention.)

there is a dating site that uses a mechanism like that to match up likely candidates.

I'd be curious to see how effective that is! What's the name of the site?

okcupid, sign up to get a better look at their matching algorithm, it's based on asking people loads of questions.
