Ah, didn't see that since I'm actually at the event. But, tchat.io is actually better than the Twitter widget on that page. It updates in real-time, and if you sign-in you can tweet, reply, and quote in-page without opening a new window.
We're building a new way to monetize Android applications over at AppKey. We think opt-in homescreen advertising will be a better way for developers to make more money with their apps, users to get free content, and advertisers to place more effective advertising.

Happy to answer any questions here, or contact us through the site.
Hi, my name is Kyle Mulka. I'm the founder of cofound.org.
Sorry about the trouble with signup. Looks like we've got a bug. We'll fix it soon.
The location descriptions are pretty general for now because there aren't a lot of people on the site yet. As more people join the site, we'll add regions. For now, Cambridge falls into the Eastern US region. But, if you get more people in your area to join the site, we'll add a region just for you guys. We'll probably have to switch to a better location system to do radius searches in the future. But, the region thing was a quick hack to get something up and running that was better than just using zip codes.
We may remove photos from the site, or at least make them less prominent. You only really need them if you are going to meet in person and you need to know who to look for.
I agree that our current location search sucks, and we're going to fix that in the next month or so.
We did a little bit of research into other similar sites. The one you mentioned, cofoundr.com, doesn't appear to have any sort of location filter. Does anyone use that site?
