Ask YC: Can we create a HackerNews/YC group on LinkedIn?

I found a lot of great people in Toronto through OnStartups LinkedIn group and I think it would be great to have one for Hacker News and Y Combinator. Should we let PG do the honors?

LinkedIn Groups are really broken. There are at least two HN groups on LinkedIn already and you can't link to them. I think the suggested way to join is to be invited by the admin or two click through via the profile of someone in the group already.

Found the link "Hacker News" LinkedIn Group: http://www.linkedin.com/groupInvitation?groupID=86116&sh...

Unfortunately I'm 4 karma points away from the required 20.

If someone is in the group and can invite me my profile is here: http://www.linkedin.com/in/danmcgrady

I agree though, the groups on LinkedIn are half-baked.

There already is a YCombinator News Group on Linkedin, unfortunately I can't figure out how to link you to it =/
