Yep! This is how we started The Fetch (http://thefetch.com) – a what's happening city guide for professionals to discover local events.
I started it out of Melbourne, Australia and we've gone to 10 cities across the US, Europe and Asia Pac within a year. :)
Have you thought of making the WayBackLetter a section of the HNL? Seems like you already have a great audience that wouldn't mind receiving a few links of all-time HN goodness in it. You could then save the neat WBL domain for multi-purpose cool reads from across the web!
Congrats again on the 100th issue!
Congrats Kale. I've been loving TimeHop lately and think it'll equally apply to non-social content. Is there a way you can scale 'curation'? This is something I'm currently researching for The Fetch...

Also you could sign up for Melbourne's Startup Digest fortnightly enewsletter - it does the curation for you... http://startupdigest.com/
Silicon Beach Melbourne has pretty much died in the arse.
There are also many user groups worth attending depending on your skills/interest.

Not sure who holds the account password - it might be @nedwin. I actually work at the Melbourne-based YC startup Adioso.com. The cofounders Tom and Fenn led the last one a bit.
These threads are worth viewing for info on previous meetups:

The last meetup in Feb was great. FYI – there's a bit of a community around the @ycmelb Twitter account - http://twitter.com/ycmelb
Reddit Cofounder Alexis Ohanian To Join Y Combinator 16 years ago
Yeah, having Australian YC founders is awesome for championing our local startup communities too. There was a decent turnout at the the YC Melbourne meetup in February.
I’m a Female Y Combinator Founder and You Can Be Too 16 years ago
Has anyone ever put together a list of female YC founders and their companies? Also, is the trend for female YC founders to be solo-founders?
Congratulations to Tom, Fenn and Andrew on AV3. Great to see an offering like this coming out of Melbourne's startup ecosystem!
Ask HN: Do you have a startup spouse? 16 years ago
Nice first post and like how you've written it in a gender-neutral tone. It kind of depresses me as I envy people who have supporting partners, and feel as an entrepreneurial woman those attributes are harder to come by in a male partner. I know it's generalising, but most guys want to take the centre stage. Do they want to hold the home and emotional front together? Probably not. Sigh... :-)
Ask HN: How to travel cheaply? 16 years ago
I'm trying to do exactly the same thing - I recommend using Adioso for flight search and Airbnb for accommodation.
Why I Quit A Six Figure Job 16 years ago
I did a similar thing recently. I had so many things I wanted to work on and no time to do them, especially while working fulltime or being tied to one location. As they say - you can always get money back, but not time or opportunities. It's not a conventional path to take, but it certainly challenges your creativity and willpower. And as Xavier put it – it's about the freedom to say yes.
