I was actually just thinking about this the other day. I think it could be very useful to see full profiles and detailed portfolios of the people on here. I think it could help members network with each other more.
The benefit is that because HN/YC is such a small, focused niche site if it became a full-fledged social network, all of the members would become much closer in the online community.
If used as a LinkedIn substitute, would people censor themselves before expressing non business-friendly opinions?
It could.
Think of HN as an exercise in MVP and YAGNI.
