I suspect it's purpose to identify hipsters in San Francisco.

They put up a page with no explanation what the site was to be out, just an email sign up form. If you signed up without any idea what you would be signing up for, but just to be the first to know what it would be then maybe you were a...hipster.

Like DevX101 I believe this was a social experiement or some kind of experiement...to see how many people would believe in hype? Maybe some kind of practical joke?

It redirects to http://jobs.usehipster.com/ and says that they're hiring and offering "$10,000, a year's supply of PBR, and so much more" if you refer a friend.
