Yeah, feels like it's targeting the people who need this service least. Bay area is geek central, or so it's reputation suggests. I just moved to Albuquerque, which is beautiful and scenic and has no existing nerd scene. A tool like this would be incredible for finding or building one, though.
I don't mean to be the "but what about my edge case" guy, but it really does seem like your target audience is going to be denser when you get into cities that don't have thoroughly saturated tech scenes already.
p.s. If there are any HN types in the ABQ/Santa Fe area, please reply and we can grab lunch sometime.

Just because there are lots of similarly-minded people in the same area as you doesn't mean it's easy to make friends with them. A lot of people relocated to the bay area every month, a service like this would be great for them.
Certainly falls under the category of "solving problems of SV 20 somethings" though :P
