What is Haystack?
Haystack is a social networking system for businesses, built around the simple idea that the most trusted person is "someone like me," and that finding shared interests and affinities can enable individuals to do better business together.

How Do I Use Haystack?
To connect with the other speakers and attendees, simply click here to enter the Greenhouse Haystack. That's it. If you would like to add yourself to the Greenhouse Haystack, to facilitate connections with other participants, it's as easy as 1-2-3:

1. Click here to enter the Greenhouse Haystack
2. Log in and click on "Join this Haystack" in the left side nav (If you don't already have a profile in Haystack, click on "Register" at the top of the Greenhouse Haystack page to self-register.)
3. Once logged in, you should now have an "Edit My Profile" link on your profile page. Edit any fields you see fit. You can also tag yourself on a variety of categories, by clicking on the "My Tags" link from the "Edit My Profile" page. (Note that profiles will go through a quick approval queue to prevent spam, and will be visible in the main Greenhouse Haystack in short order after creation.)

Our hope is that by having the opportunity to connect with the other participants in multiple ways (not just by virtue of us all attending Greenhouse, but by accelerating the discovery process of shared interests), we'll all get more out of the brief time we have together in Sunnyvale, make better use of both the discussion sessions and, most importantly, create a solid network for individuals to work together in the weeks and months after the event has come to a close.
