Why is there no Facebook for programmers & hackers?
Designers have Dribbble, Behance, etc. Businessmen have LinkedIn. HN is nice for simple article links but is hardly a robust network. Where are the social networks for programmers/hackers?

Github is a glorified repository. Sorry, but any "social network" that requires code pushes isn't intended for that. :)

I think you can remove the word "else" from the last sentence. ;o

I don't see the need for that either; I'm referring to sharing things in a more visual way (Pinterest), making new code available (Github), adding friends and likeminded folks (Facebook), discussing topics in groups (LinkedIn).

This is biting Dropbox in the arse in more ways than one: Dropbox has had years to improve their service, add a huge amount of features, and take this concept to new heights. What have they done? Redesigned their Web site? Gee.

Absolutely agree! This is good news IMO - Google has far more storage redundancy than Dropbox does, that's for sure. In a pinch, who do you trust to make sure your data isn't kaput? The answer is obvious.

>Google will assign a real person to talk to if you have more than ~30M views / month or something.
...or if you pay for their paid services (Google Apps).

Any mobile app developers get rejected? I'm involved with a new VC co standing up a soon-to-launch fund called WeHeartApps Fund that is focusing on early-stage mobile app/game developers. Feel free to email me at [email protected] (still getting our @glidecapital email set up).

No offense but your product seems like a Tumblr clone. Not much to do with social networking at all, it appears.
