As I think more about it (sorry :D), it seems like the more blog posts targeted for HN that reach the top, the more "closed" the site becomes to ideas and insights outside of the current set of memes circulating through HN. In otherwords, the insight level gets stuck at a local maximum. On the other hand, I don't think anything can be done about this.
- jacquesm 16y agoI don't think that's true. I've written quite a few postings that were interesting to the HN audience and not so much to others that normally read my blog, but I actually get more and better feedback from the HN crowd anyway. There are lots of links posted every day still and I think we're nowhere near becoming a navel gazing self centered community. When you suggest that I'm thinking of K5, HN is very far away from that.
