So Alan - you don't mind if I call you Alan do you? No? Good. I just thought I'd stop by and share my reactions with you. It seems pretty clear that you've recently stumbled across hacker news and decided it's full of people who are in desperate need of marketing advice. Equally clearly it seems you've decided that you're the one to provide it. However, one of the first principles in marketing is to do your homework and understand your market. One of the principles that's right up close to that is to listen to your customers. So have a look at the items you've submitted so far. None have received upvotes, and exactly one of them has got any comments: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1587368 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1587368 I'm not qualified to tell you your business, nor to provide an in-depth analysis of what you're getting wrong. But clearly you're getting something wrong. If you're honest and genuine, perhaps others might tell you. But what seems pretty clear is that your current offerings aren't getting anywhere with the hackers on this site. Perhaps you'd do better if you spoke to them more clearly in terms they understood, and dealt clearly with issues they have. Currently, your posts are really high on the "Ginger Factor" and they're not going down well.
