Agreed. We're working on a ranking and reputation algorithm that will only show the best Coders for the Startups. We don't want to waste anyone's time, on both sides.
What parameters are you using to define who the "best" coders are?

#25Nice. I'm not interested in joining a startup, but meeting local fellow geeks for coffee or lunch to shoot the breeze would be awesome... kind of like a GeekGrindr :) A ChessGrindr would also be another cool idea!
GeekGrindr sounds painful. ;)

#30I know mobile is hot right now, but does this really have to be an iPhone app?
Just to get our feet wet, my partner and I proceeded to write two simple iPhone apps. The first did 10x better than our mobile web app (with much less effort), and the second did 100x better. That was enough to convince us, and now we've shelved mobile web development in favor of iOS development.
That's just a personal anecdote, of course. I can't speak for the guys (or gals) behind Coder's Coffee. Overall, though, I think this is responsible for a lot of the interest we're seeing in iOS development.
It also helps that Apple has done a great job with XCode and the iOS SDK. Developing for iOS is really a pleasure.
