Requires a Linkedin profile to sign up!? Really!? There are so many reasons that is a stupid idea.

  Care to explain?

    Not everyone has a linkedin/facebook/twitter account.

      True, but most people that would be hired by the startups listed would. No?

        Most != everyone Seriously, requiring sign up via accounts on sites like facebook, linkedin etc is a really stupid idea. Startups (I'm looking at you quora!) need to stop this bullshit. Edit: Looks like quora now allows email sign ups. Good.

          I used to sympathize with your position, (esp. re Facebook, which is just a creepy company to me) but do you really want to setup yet another account with some random website? A website that may have Gawker-style security? I prefer the approach that StackOverflow took, which lets you use basically any OpenID provider.

    Many people, like myself, like to separate social media from the real world in some way, and this is one of those places I like to keep them separate.
