"... doesn't the fact that Techmeme drives traffic cause the echo chamber - and how do you change that? ..." Spin in any article is like spraying "Cheez Whiz®" on a plate load of "Water Crackers" then claiming the discovery of the "new" Brie. [0][1] To the cheese connoisseur, you know something is wrong straight away. Instead of the soft white gooey cheese melting out the sides of the light chewy rind, we get an orange blob expertly sprayed on a cracker. The echo chamber effect is dampened by the HN readers who are connoisseur's of hacker related information. [2] Spin is detected at both submission and reader level. A pre-spun article might escape submission, but the average HN taste is attuned to poor substitutes.
