After inadvertently discovering some other HN readers living locally to me, outside of a city, I thought I'd try something to help surface more people like that.<p>So: Hackers in the Shires (Editable Google Map)<p>It's easy to find fellow startup hackers in cities - less easy when you live out of town. So, wherever you are in the world, add a marker with your Twitter handle/HN username/something if you want others around you to know you're out there.<p>The goal is to help people outside of the dense networks to hook up, talk and maybe even help each other out sometime.<p>PS: The map is publicly editable, so please, play nice, else I'll just have to zap it.
