Ask HN: hn for biz students?
I'm not a biz student, but when I built hnDir for my school, some of the biz students feel sort of left out. Is there a community online that exists for business students, much like hn exists for hackers?

- trickjarrett 18y agoYes but with a business focus. I think nickb created it.
- mixmax 18y agohe did
- revorad 18y agoOnly in the sense of structure, not value. What makes HN special is the quality of discussion which goes on here; Newmogul on the other hand seems to have no discussion. The most active post at the moment has 3 comments on it. Perhaps, the site will get more active over time. I wonder what it is about hackers that makes them talk so much. It's a good thing.
- arockwell 18y agoI would guess that it has a lot more to do with the volume of traffic on newmogul vs HN than the type of people.
- revorad 18y agoYes, I agree. That's what I meant by 'Perhaps, the site will get more active over time'.
- nickb 18y agoNot only that but a lot of traffic on NM is from corporations. And I mean, there's like 50% of traffic coming from various F1000 & banking institutions. Problem with them is that some are too afraid to post anything that might be traced back to them. I'm thinking about adding SSL and removing IP logging to facilitate communication. Not sure yet what the best solution would be.
- arockwell 18y agoThat's actually really interesting. How much traffic does the site get anyways?

- vaksel 18y agoHN isn't solely for hackers, there are plenty of people here who can't write a line of code.
- sil3ntmac 18y agoIs HN open source? I never thought about that...
