Hey, HN! Tech.pro founder here.<p>Tech.pro is a niche social network for people in Tech, with a focus on content discovery and sharing. It's designed with blogging in mind, while also allowing users to share links, images, Q&A, micro-posts, etc.<p>Our main feed (the home page) is driven by a combination of the people you follow (your network) as well as the tags you follow (your interests). We've been working hard to make the platform work well for the broad range of interests that someone in the tech industry might have.<p>Inspiration for the site has come from many sites and communities that exist today including HN, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc. but take unique aspects of each to make the best possible experience.<p>I'm eager to get any sort of feedback from the HN crowd.

I wanted to link the picture of my Google profile but the permissions you ask are a bit too... permissive. It says it's for retrieving my picture, but it is asking for things like managing my contacts.
