CollabFinder is a network of geeks like you looking for collaborators. No recruiters. No MBAs.

It's the place to go when you're looking for someone to help you with your next big idea. Browse developers, designers, illustrators and writers by skill, interest, location and how many friends you have in common. Then chat with anyone with one click.

And if you're looking to do a new startup tag yourself with "Y Combinator" or "Summer Camp" or "TechStars" to get pitched by people like you. Want to see Python developers in San Francisco who want to do a Y Combinator company related to education? No problem.

Try it out now at CollabFinder.com and let us know what you think.

Saha, Gil and Simon.

The join forms on this site are abysmal. I hate to say it, but as a designer/developer, I couldn't even get my profile on the site. You gotta fix this if you want to get enough users.

Thanks for trying it out - can you tell me what issues you came across in the signup form? We're working on making it easier, but wanted to get the site out there and get some feedback.

I don't think Facebook logins are a good way to handle user registration for something like this, perhaps I'm in the minority but I don't even have a Facebook account anymore (on purpose).

I don't think it's a good idea to pull Facebook friends from their API for this purpose either, are you actually processing those or is it client side?

Tried to get in touch with some people on the site but it says "Join CollabFinder by creating your public profile" every time I try to "add to my profile"

Thanks for trying out the site - can you be a bit more specific about what happens when you try to sign up? Did you get a facebook dialog popup? Would love to help you get it sorted out - just launched and we probably have a few bugs lurking that we're not aware of. Also, refreshing the page might do the trick...

Thanks.

Can't access the website, It's saying Database Error... And the only way to sign up is via Facebook? I am a Developer, But i am not a Facebook user, Having different/normal way to signup will be good.

I guess i am the only one who can't Login and i see the database error only when i am logged in..

Can you check it out, It's on line number 150 (/ap...../..ls../facebook_member.php)
