I'd say the site needs some more features though, and a little polish. My profile page is looking a little barren: http://venturehacks.com/johnphilipgreen Been reading the Venture Hacks blog since it launched... great content. Glad to see this new development.

I think you'll like it if (1) you're looking to invest in companies, (2) you're looking to help other people's companies by recommending them, or (3) you want to show off your company's recommendations.

We'll open it up as soon as the site doesn't suck. Anyone can browse it in the meantime: http://venturehacks.com/recommended How are we different than LinkedIn and The Funded and other sites? We're trying to help investors and entrepreneurs get introduced through recommendations. I don't think anyone else is providing that service online. Hi antje wilsch,
