Great idea. A couple feedback items:
- The icons on user pages which stand for areas of expertise aren't really helpful since you have to hover over them to see what most of them mean (example: a coffee cup means General Advice and a person icon means Usability). At the least, these should have titles above/below them.
- I'd like the hardcoded areas of expertise removed in favor of an autocomplete freeform box, much like Stack Overflow's tags box. For example, I'd like to put that I'm a Drupal expert and I'd like to look for node.js help, but neither of those are options.

Thanks very much - those are really good suggestions, I really appreciate it - I'll work on them both for v2.
I love the concept for this, finding friendly hackers to help you on your hack project is massively useful

Interesting and it will very helpful, now I am ready to contact person who will help me, I already get him email.
I built the site as a way to learn Ruby on Rails, I'm still a bit green when it comes to coding so there's a very good chance that the server will fall over. Any feedback you guys have would be really appreciated - and you can get in touch at dave [at] hackerbuddy.com. I hope you find it useful.
