Another way to "Find Hackers Near You" is to find a Hackerspace near you, and find out when the best time to visit is: http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/List_of_Hacker_Spaces

I was about to say the same thing.
The sad thing, though, is that there's one near me (the Phoenix area) and all the meetings I've ever seen are in direct conflict with my work hours. Just one of the bad things about having your days start at 2-4 PM, I guess :(

Heatsynclabs is open even outside of the hours listed, I would check twitter, many of the members post on there when they are in the space.
When I still lived in Phoenix I would visit there often (I know many of the founders of HSL from the college I went to).

I haven't been there, so I haven't really gotten to know anyone there and I don't know their twitter, but I suppose I could try to Google something up. Have been wishing for something interesting on a weekend, though I've been really busy lately, too.
I wanna find some hacker bros but don't need help with anything in particular. Can we get a location based search?
I signed up for HackerBuddy a long time ago and never used it since. I'm a lot more interested in finding hackers nearby so this will give me some incentive to use the service.
Some buddies and I are organizing a hackathon and now I can use HackerBuddy to find people who would like to participate :)

Great idea. Very interested to see the follow through on this and to see if there are any connections to be made in my area.
May I suggest markdown support for the profile descriptions? Being able to add links would be nice.
You can use some html elements already. Check out my profile:

For those saying they want location search, just use "near me" as what you're looking for.
Nice, great user interface. Need to be able to browse by location though. Also would be cool to post an update like: 'Need #coffescript wizard near @San Francisco' and it posts to all people in San Francisco with coffeescript skills.
I just added myself, but searching for UA-3341961 gives me a bad feeling. Is this a seo harvester? There is no info on the site who is running it except an email wich differs from other UA-3341961 sites.
Hi - no it's nothing malicious. I'm running it, maybe I should add a bit more to the contact details page..
The Thunderbolt logo reminds me of Dustin Curtis' own branding, and the characters on the front page are straight out of eightbit.me. That said, cool.
Hi, I showed the Eightbit.me designer before I launched, and he was happy with me using those characters.
Hey, I'm not accusing you of anything. I know @addison is happy when people use those characters. They work!
Great idea. Only, finding a buddy near me is not easy. I only got people without a location and one from Bay area. I'm Dutch.
I'm in Eindhoven. Even with a group with as high an Internet presence as hackers it can be hard to find people. With the technical university here the level of hackers is high, but I'm not getting results on the website.
I'm in Groningen. Same name on hacker buddy.
Worked on an app with the similar goal but never launched it. Hope this one succeeds - is anybody else in Berkeley, CA and down to hack/hang?
