If you write good content, let it stand for itself, and don't try to sell yourself together with your content. Sooner or later, people will turn against you.
- zack 18y agoJealous? I'm interested in hearing what Gabor Cselle has to say. He worked at Xobni and seems intelligent.
- ed 18y agoIt's branding. And it's entirely relevant who's dispensing the advice.
- dbrush 18y agoAgreed. For instance: "How to build a company with a market cap of $180 billion" - Me vs. "How to build a company with a market cap of $180 billion" - Bill Gates Also, having gone through the very same process Gabor is, I can say the content does stand on its own merit.
- gaborcselle 18y agoYeah, it was interesting to see my name there (I didn't post this on Hacker News myself). I'm not quite on BillG's level yet - give me a few more years :-)
- jbyers 18y agoI posted the link with Gabor's name thinking many HN readers might appreciate the Xobni connection. Of course, I forgot that his domain was "gaborcselle.com" and that it would appear right next to the title in HN. So blame me, not him. :)
