The TC spike doesn't matter. The important thing is that TC is The source for other blogs around the world. I can't submit my site to a Japanese blog for example (I don't write this language), but a Japanese blogger read the TC post and reposted it. Multiply that for 100 and you can see where do the 70K Google results come from. I don't change the design to appear there. But 60% of the users at that moment ( my girlfriend and TC) didn't like the font and to be sincere I wasn't sure anyway. Honestly I don't think that the font change made the site techcrunch worthy, I think the HN frontpage was most important. We are always bending to others, everyone fixes the limit of tolerance according our goals and means.
