I'm not very technical but I've been a reader of hacker news for a while. After wanting to start something, for what seems like forever, I finally made this site last weekend. The goal is to provide high quality book recommendations from successful founders. First month's featured entrepreneur is Andrew Warner.
I believe some of the value that Andrew offers is in the description of his videos. When I click on an interview I have an idea of what topics are going to be discussed. If I have certain information that I am looking for one of the ways I research is by looking at the Mixergy archives. I understand what you are saying about the value of immediate feedback, however the next best thing to me are Andrews interviews.
