Ask HN: Microsoft PR machine unleashed on HN?
Why are 5 of the top 6 links on HN right now all about Microsoft?
- smt88 11y agoMaybe it was, maybe not. Microsoft released a bunch of news today, and people are genuinely really excited about it, as far as the comments tell me. They may be fairly quiet on HN, but ASP.NET and C# developers are more numerous than Python, PHP, and Ruby combined.
- T-A 11y agoBecause "Connect(); //2015" is streaming live on https://channel9.msdn.com/ https://channel9.msdn.com/ ?
- dragonwriter 11y agoBecause Microsoft is doing a developer's conference, and that's the kind of thing that generates a lot of HN-interesting news at any time. During WWDC, HN gets dominated by Apple stories. During I/O, lots of Google stories.
