Given that the site you are linking to is apparently being developed by one of your employees, don't you think it would be appropriate to mention that or put some sort of disclaimer on your comment?
Also it appears you created your account 3 days ago, specifically to make comments of support for that particular website:

- aculver 15y agoHey Dalton. Andrew here. Congratulations on the launch of these new features! I think you may be misunderstanding Brennan's comment just because he's closely linked with us. It's not astroturf. The feedback he's giving you publicly here is the same thing he said to me the day after http://app.net/ http://app.net/ launched. It's also not uncommon for to draw a connection between the projects. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2794330 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2794330 . :) Brennan has been reading Hacker News for longer than I have, I'm sure. (I only ever signed up for an account sometime last year when I had an opening to hire for in my last job.) I think signing up for an account probably had more to do with the launch of his own side-project (which is there in the thread you linked to.) All the best!
- bdunn 15y agoYou're right, I probably should have mentioned that I work with Andrew. I absolutely love competition, and I think App.net serves a real need - and so does Limelight. Also, I have an older account (http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=brennandunn http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=brennandunn), but I lost my password and never attached my email address to that account... so I'm out of luck. I'm a lurker, and have only recently decided to become more engaged :-)
